Posted on by Rory Moynagh

HNH features prominently in the 2019 Northern Ireland Dealmakers Awards shortlists.

We have been shortlisted in the Corporate Finance Team of the Year category. Craig Holmes features in the Dealmaker of the Year list. While, we were involved in a number of deals which have also gained prominence – the sale of fscom’s KYC Pro product to PWC, funding for ISL Waste Management Ltd (both feature in Deal of the Year – below £2.5m) and the acquisition of Alumasc Facades by Kilwaughter (Deal of the Year £2.5 – £10m).

HNH Director Richard Moorehead is proud of his team:

“2018 was a fantastic year for HNH’s CF team, which nearly doubled in size from five to nine team members over the course of the year. As well as giving us crucial extra bandwidth, our targeted recruitment has added expertise in financial modelling, transaction services and debt advisory,” he said.

“We completed 15 transactions during 2018, covering a wide range of sectors and transaction types. Having three of our deals (Kilwaughter, FSCom and ISL) shortlisted for deal of the year is testament to the strength of our team and their hard work and dedication.

“2019 has continued in the same vein as 2018.  At the end of last month, we completed the sale of the leading independent foodservice business, Foodco, to Henderson Foodservice and have another four or five deals scheduled to complete before the end of this quarter. ”

The annual NI Dealmakers Awards aim to recognise the high quality professional advisory firms and funders in Northern Ireland and some of the best deals in which they have been involved in over the previous calendar year. All winners will be revealed at the gala dinner event set to take place at the Stormont Hotel in Belfast on 14 March 2019.

HNH Group was again named ‘Corporate Finance Advisory Team of the Year’ at the annual Insider Northern Ireland Dealmakers Awards in front of an audience of over 300 at the La Mon Hotel & Country Club in Belfast last night.

For a fourth year, HNH, which celebrates only its fifth anniversary this year, beat strong and
long-established competition to win the award which recognises the achievements of those individuals and firms whose skill, creativity and sheer determination have stood out over the past year.

Led by Directors Craig Holmes and Wayne Horwood, HNH’s Corporate Finance team provides long-term financial strategies for private companies, private equity funds and financial institutions. The company advises on all aspects of corporate finance including mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and company sales through to management buy-outs (MBOs) and fundraising.

HNH was singled out for their work on numerous deals in the region in the last year, including advising on the sale of Nelson Hydraulics to Flowtech Fluidpower plc, refinancing for Keys Group and the high profile acquisitions of Boojum and four titles from Greer Publications by Independent News & Media.

Craig Holmes says: “To receive this award for four out of the five years we have been in business is a great honour. It recognises the achievements and excellent work done by the team over the last year. It’s also testament to the drive and ambition of the clients with whom we work and we’re very pleased to be singled out for helping them to achieve their goals.”

The award comes at a time of continued growth for HNH Group which, in addition to corporate finance, provides business restructuring, forensics, digital consultancy and human capital services. In 2015, the company welcomed Gerry McGinn, previously Managing Director of First Trust Bank and Chief Executive of Irish Nationwide and Bank of Ireland, as Chairman.
