Hello Rainmakers,
We’ve got something a little bit different for you today.
Thomas Ryder was a special guest at our 2025 Rainmakers conference, and he as generous with his time and insights, as he was with the samples of Applied Nutrition product he brought for delegates.
We’re always exploring new ways to bring you insight, commentary and information. If you’d like to work with us on anything to reach this active community of investors and professionals, please get in touch.
Rainmakers subscribers usually get two unique pieces a week (when it isn’t a Bank Holiday week) but also full access to our back catalogue of investigations, scoops, and insights, including updates from The Secret Investor, interviews with entrepreneurs, and the leaders from VC and PE investors the likes of Endless, River Capital, Foresight, Mercia, Puma and LDC.

TheBusinessDesk.com’s Rainmaker Awards return this summer and will showcase a wider cross-section of the region’s deals community.
The hotly-contested regional corporate finance awards will continue to recognise teams, individuals and deals, and the shortlist and winners will be decided on by the community, as always.
This year we have asked all firms to submit a short entry, along with the key deals they have advised on, to ensure our judges have the full information when making their selections.
Shortlists have now been drawn up at well-attended judging days. These shortlists will now be voted on by a wider group of people from across the community, on a strict one vote per firm basis, to decide our 2025 winners.
For tickets for the event, please click here to secure your seat in the North West, Yorkshire, or the West Midlands.
