Three reasons to become the Young Dealmaker of the Year

Few accolades bring as much buzz to the Thames Valley’s corporate finance community as the title of Young Dealmaker of the Year. 

Sponsored by YFM Equity Partners, this award is a well-loved fixture of any Thames Valley Deals Awards as it recognises the exceptional achievements of a young professional in completing deals and making significant contributions to the business landscape. 

Open to any nominees under the age of 35 who have worked primarily within the region, this is just one of 13 categories to be entered at this year’s black-tie gala event. 

With this always being such a hotly contested category as professionals from across the Thames Valley vie to be named the definitive Young Dealmaker of the Year for 2024, why should you throw your hat in the ring?
