BBC presenter set to host 2016 Rainmaker Awards
THE BBC’s Nina Warhurst has been revealed as the host for TheBusinessDesk.com’s Rainmaker Awards next month, which will see the biggest and best deals by Yorkshire’s corporate finance community celebrated.
Seventeen different deals have been shortlisted across five categories, ranging from Business Growth Fund’s £7.6m investment in Xercise4Less up to the £1.4bn takeover of Pace by American giant ARRIS Group.
The work of the advisory teams will also be recognised, with awards for legal, corporate finance, VC/private equity, funder and transaction services teams.
The Rainmaker Awards, sponsored by YBS Share Plans, will take place at Royal Armouries in Leeds, on Thursday, July 7, and tickets can be bought online now.
TheBusinessDesk.com recently announced the shortlist for the awards, which were drawn up by a 22-strong panel of people drawn from across Yorkshire’s corporate finance community and the winners will be chosen by a secure online vote, with each firm entitled to one vote each.
