The Preston-based Altius Group has risen to prominence as the premier advisor for mergers and acquisitions in the UK, according to the 2021 Refinitiv league tables for Small-Cap and Mid-Market transactions. This recognition underscores the firm’s exceptional performance and signals vitality within mid-tier market segments that have demonstrated remarkable fortitude amidst the volatile conditions created by the pandemic.
The firm’s influence extends internationally, securing an impressive 5th position across Europe, Middle East and Asia in the Small-Cap division, while also claiming the 7th spot worldwide in the Mid-Market category.
Shattering previous performance benchmarks across numerous industry sectors, the organization has witnessed robust activity throughout its operational divisions. This comprehensive success contributed to Altius Group facilitating transactions with cumulative offer values exceeding £500 million during 2021.
Throughout the health crisis, Altius Group has emerged as a vocal proponent of corporate adaptability. Their strategic position within the M&A landscape affords them continuous access to intelligence from acquisition targets and potential investors alike.
Industry specialists at Altius Group anticipate heightened interest in small and medium enterprises that successfully navigated pandemic pressures while maintaining growth aspirations. This trend is expected to generate abundant expansion possibilities for forward-looking organizations in the post-pandemic business environment.
Paul Miller, CEO at Altius Group said: “We are incredibly excited about what 2022 holds for the mergers and acquisitions throughout the UK. The Altius Group is now in a prime position to support client acquisition and divestment strategies across the globe. I’d like to thank all of our staff for their dedication and hard work.”
