Insider South East Dealmakers Awards 2024 | Insider Media | Lingfield Park Racecourse, Racecourse Rd, Lingfield RH7 6PQ, UK

The premier event for the corporate finance community in the South East – now in the 18th year - the Awards are a great opportunity to honour and reward the firms, funders and investors that continue to provide excellent advice and support for South East businesses.

With the pace and volume of transactions showing no sign of slowing, now is the time to recognise the professional advisers who have gone that extra mile and delivered services that they can be justifiably proud.
