As proud sponsors of The Private Equity Awards organised by Real Deals Benchmark UK directors enjoyed yesterdays ceremony immensely.

Now in their 12th year, the Real Deals Private Equity Awards are the most established and widely recognised awards bestowed on the private equity industry and those that advise it.

Awards are rigorously deliberated over by leading industry practitioners and members of the Cass Business School ensuring the Real Deals Private Equity Awards remain the most prestigious award of their kind.

Benchmark International sponsored the award of UK Deal Of The Year valued less than €250m, won by Lyceum Capital Partners for their acquisition of M&C Energy.

Benchmark International has been heavily involved in several private equity industry events this year and last as we continue to develop and nurture relationships within the industry. Private equity firms are becoming increasingly more involved within the M&A industry as pressure is growing to invest unspent capital built up over recent years. The strong relationships developed over the past 12 months are playing major roles in our continued deal successes.

Benchmark International would like to thank everyone at Real Deals for their fantastic organisation and hospitality. We look forward to attending more events in the future.
