The sun shining almost constantly, England’s footballers marching to the latter Rstages of a major international tournament, and interminable battles between Westminster and Brussels over the future relationship between the UK and the European Union. Alas, the first two can’t be guaranteed — though we deserve some vitamin D after this winter and the midfield looks solid — but the third seems to be a nailed-on certainty. Yesterday we saw the opening salvo from the European side in the form of a 42-page negotiating mandate that makes Finnegan’s Wake look an easy read. The section on financial services is particularly vague, though notable for its absence is the EU’s previous insistence on a date for an “assessment of equivalence” COMPETITORS dressed in fancy dress flipped pancakes yesterday as they took part in the annual Inter-Livery Race on Shrove between the UK and EU’s regulatory systems.

  • United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland M&A Review
    MarketIQ United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland M&A Review Experian Business Research: 2020 The resilience of the UK’s mergers and acquisition market was clear to see in 2020, with dealmakers seemingly quick to adapt to the logistical difficulties of completing transactions in the Covid-19 era. After a hiatus in the second quarter of the year, deal volume approached pre-pandemic levels in Q4. A flurry of multi-billion pound acquisitions towards the end of the year meant that annual transaction value eventually eclipsed that of 2019 – a really startling recovery. Tech deals had already started to dominate the UK’s M&A landscape in recent years, and our enforced move to a more online existence looks to have only accelerated that process. Meanwhile, having spent time taking stock and shoring up the capital positions of their portfolio companies in the immediate aftermath of lockdown, the private equity sector played an increasingly key role on the buy-side in the last two quarters of 2020. We would expect this to continue as we move further into the new year. However, whether the wider market will undergo any dampening effect due to January’s third national coronavirus lockdown in England remains to be seen. Jane Turner Research Manager, Experian MarketIQ Contents United Kingdom M&A Activity 2 London 12 South East 16 South West 20 East of England 24 Midlands 28 Yorkshire and Humber 32 North West 36 North East 40 Wales 44 Scotland 48 Northern Ireland 52 Republic of Ireland 56 Appendix 60 Deal Proforma 61 About Experian MarketIQ 62 MarketIQ United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland M&A Review | Page 1 United Kingdom M&A activity M&A activity in the UK is slowly recovering, after a sharp shock in the immediate aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic.
