Burgis & Bullock Corporate Finance has been voted UK Regional Financial Advisory Firm of the Year in the ACQ Global Awards 2012, which recognise the top mergers and acquisitions and corporate finance practitioners and are nominated and voted for by professionals in the industry.

The firm’s corporate finance division has completed a string of deals over the past 12 months including advising on the sale of UK Solutions to a company formed by Penta Capital, the acquisition of Maxsys by the investee company of a US private equity house, and the management buyout of Cat Tech International from US listed company Clean Harbors Inc.

Corporate finance partner Simon Chapman said: “Despite a difficult economy we have successfully delivered imaginative funding and mergers and 
acquisitions solutions to our clients over the past year.

“With a good pipeline of deals we are looking forward to another busy 12 months”.

Mr Bahia, who has joined Burgis & Bullock from a 
national firm and has more than ten years’ experience in business development and a degree in business management, will focus on introducing new business opportunities to the firm.

Speaking about his appointment, Gurdeep said: “I am looking forward to working alongside the partners and managers on specific campaigns which will focus on building and expanding the firm’s success. It also offers an excellent opportunity to further develop and enhance my skills within a local and successful firm.”
