At the Insider Dealmakers’ Awards 2008 for Central and East of England, held in Milton Keynes in November 2008, Mazars won the award for Corporate Finance Advisory Team of the Year and the firm’s leader, Mark Standish, won the coveted Dealmaker of the Year award.
The Hilton Hotel was filled with 200 of the most notable dealmakers from Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Norfolk. Earlier this year, directors and advisers from the region’s top 200 quoted companies and 400 professionals were asked to nominate individuals, organisations or events for each category.
Voters could not nominate for awards that fell within their own disciplines.
Dealmaker of the Year, identifying the corporate finance professional who has made the biggest impact in the regional business community over the past year, sponsored by Dunham Law, was presented by partner Douglas Iles.
Corporate Finance Advisory Team of the Year was sponsored by HSBC and presented by Robin Penfold, head of its Home and Eastern Corporate Banking Centre.
Standish said: “The international economic climate is tough and there are many problems to solve. The key is within people who can find solutions, and this room is filled with them.
"We are so fortunate to have such a tremendous corporate finance team working at Mazars’ Oxford, Bedford and Milton Keynes offices who design and complete transactions with enormous integrity and energy. I just lead them.”
