Napthens advised on 24 transactions, with a deal value of £210m in the first half of this year, which compares to to 32 transactions across the whole of 2020 and 28 transactions in 2019.
Notable transactions include the acquisition of vaping manufacturer and retailer The Vapouriz Group by e-liquid manufacturer Flavour Warehouse Limited, and the disposal of national roofing merchant Rinus Roofing Supplies Limited to The CUPA Group.
Brabners concluded on more than 40 transactions in H1, totalling over £350m, which almost equals its entire performance for 2020, in which 46 deals were concluded.
Notable transactions included Begbies Traynor Group‘s acquisition of David Rubin & Partners and the sale of Liverpool workforce management supplier MSite to Sweden’s Infobric Group.
Tech and healthcare accounted for a sizable portion of Brabners’ deals.
