KPMG’s northern corporate finance team recently closed its financial year, proud of how it’s gone. 17 M&A deals across the North in a difficult market, across a range of sectors. It's been nine months since I came back to the North West deals market and we’ve built a really healthy pipeline during that time, despite the challenging market conditions and we are going from strength to strength. This pipeline is now converting into deals and in our new financial year we have completed four deals in four weeks, with a couple more to be announced soon. Recent completions include:
LloydsDirect on the sale of the business to Pharmacy2U,
Abbey Logistics on the sale of the business to Belgian based, Sitra Group,
MPE on the sale of the business to US listed ESCO Technologies Inc
Advising Enovert on its acquisition of Highfield Environmental Limited
The team has evolved too, we’ve welcomed Ed Prior into the North TMT team and both Nisha Sharma and Richard Stark have been promoted to Partner. These are alongside wider promotions in the team, including Ed Crocker’s promotion to Director, Jordan Raiye’s promotion to Associate Director and Jamie Taylor, Harry Jackson and Callum Clark who have all been promoted to Managers. In recognition of the quality of our people and deals the recent Insider Dealmaker awards saw Ben Taylor win Emerging Dealmaker and The Data Shed and Boston Energy deals both win deal of the year in their categories.
As a Northern team we are focused on advising business owners and their management teams, family businesses and private equity backed businesses, please get in touch if you want to know more about how we can support you.

The last time we talked to Maureen Jensen for our Fact Finders in 2021, she had just retired as Chair of the Ontario Securities Commission. In this latest appearance, she tells us what she has been up to since then, including the launch of her new book with Don Hathaway, Corporate Governance DNA: A Primer for Corporate Directors.
This is an important episode of our Fact Finders for all shareholders who care deeply about corporate governance, as well as board members. Anthony starts by asking Maureen to provide context around the book's introduction:
Excerpt: "While the rules and regulations outline director obligations, they do not address the infinite variety of situations facing corporations as they evolve. The foundation of a director's legal obligations rests on their duty of care, their fiduciary duty, and their obligation to ensure that the corporation is managed for its purpose."
Maureen's response: "Let's start with duty of care. That means that as a director, you need to put in the effort and the due diligence to do your job. It means you have to know the business. You have to know the corporation. You have to understand the environment that it's working in and the changes that are happening. That's your duty of care. It's not just to read the materials. It's really to get in behind and understand what the corporation is actually facing.
Fiduciary duty is really about governance of the corporation in the best interest of the shareholders and the key stakeholders. So it means doing the right thing. It means not having conflicts of interest and not doing deals to the benefit only of the corporation's insiders but to the entire shareholder base.
Duty of managing the corporation: The board of directors doesn't do that; it generally hires professional management to do that role. And so, how do you actually oversee that? You make sure that they do what they say they're doing, that they have good strategies in place, that they can be measured, that they understand the risks, and that they monitor where the risks are going."
Anthony and Maureen also discussed how shareholders can evaluate governance, compensation metrics, ESG, dual-class shares, regulators and more.
