International boutique network offers global promise

How do networks of advisors measure up and drive quality advice?

Hello Rainmakers,

Big global advisers are meant to push the niche boutiques to the margins, but this week we look at a thriving international network that’s meeting in the UK this week.

INTERNATIONAL RESCUE

Experts in their field are gathering this week to look at areas where they can usefully co-operate on tackling immediate challenges.

Sure, the COP29 summit is happening in Baku, Azerbaijan, but in a corner of the corporate finance market the heads of firms from around the world are meeting in London as part of M&A Worldwide. 

The UK hosts are the original Manchester corporate finance boutique practice Rickitt Mitchell, which is the sole and exclusive UK member of the M&A Worldwide network, though they can be forgiven for hosting the event in the nation’s capital, and not Manchester, given the current state of our national infrastructure.

Since we started the Rainmakers platform just a few months and 100 posts ago, we’ve spoken frequently about the shifting sands of the deals advisory world. It seems universally acknowledged that with international trade buyers stalking the world looking for acquisition opportunities, then gone are the days that the little black book of contact numbers for local PLC chairmen would be enough to run a sales process for an ambitious local client.
