Financial advisory firm HNH Partners has announced a record year across its Edinburgh and Belfast offices.
The firm said it continues to experience strong growth despite challenging economic conditions. In the past year, its advisory teams have completed 40 transactions worth in excess of £525m in value.
Its client base has continued to broaden, spanning founder and family-owned businesses, management teams executing buy-outs, mid-market private equity houses and their portfolio companies, listed corporates and international acquirers.
A growing share of HNH’s mandates now involve cross-border elements, with clients and counterparties domiciled across the UK, Ireland, continental Europe and North America.
This record performance has seen HNH Partners accelerate its position within the Experian M&A Review Top 10 league tables in both Northern Ireland and Scotland, with its Belfast office achieving a second-place position in 2025.
In March the Edinburgh team completed its 14th deal of the financial year with the sale of Glasgow-based manufacturer APH Hydraulic Engineering to Ignite Growth, a London-based private equity house.
Neal Allen, partner and head of deal advisory in Scotland, said: “Whilst there are clear headwinds for most deal markets, the number of deals that we have completed this year is testament to the innovation, resilience and vision of companies in the Scottish market.
“Though there will be continued uncertainty in the economy for a while yet, we expect to see further deal activity throughout 2026 as there is no shortage of ambitious and entrepreneurial businesses that are seeking to grow in our core markets.”
Reflecting on a record year of success, Wayne Horwood, founder and managing partner, said:
“The past year has been a landmark one for HNH, both in terms of the volume and value of transactions completed and the strength of close relationships we continue to build with our clients.”
