HNH Partners has been named the Corporate Finance Advisory Firm of the Year at the prestigious Insider Northern Ireland Dealmakers Awards.
The achievement underscores HNH’s evolution into one of the region’s leading business and corporate finance advisory firms.
It was another record-breaking year for HNH as our team completed a total of 24 transactions, with values in excess of £420 million.
Insider judges commented that this track record, coupled with our continued investment in building our team to be one of the largest corporate finance groups in Northern Ireland, ensured we stood out against the other candidates.
The accolade was awarded at a ceremony in Belfast’s Europa Hotel, which celebrated the very best professionals and transactions that are making their mark on the local mergers and acquisitions landscape.
Reflecting on the success, Wayne Horwood, Founder and Managing Partner of HNH Partners, said:
“We’re absolutely delighted to be recognised as Corporate Finance Advisory Firm of the Year. This award is a reflection of the hard work, expertise and ambition of our entire team, as well as the trust our clients place in us to support them through some of their most important transactions.
“The past year has been a record-breaking one for HNH, and this recognition reinforces the progress we have made in building a leading advisory firm both here in Northern Ireland and in our growing Edinburgh office. We remain focused on maintaining this momentum, continuing to invest in our people and delivering outstanding outcomes for our clients.
“Many congratulations to all those firms and individuals nominated on what was an incredible night that celebrated the vibrancy of the local M&A market.”
HNH was also recently named the ‘Best Small Company to Work For’ at the Belfast Chamber Business Awards 2025, recognising our continued commitment to creating a supportive, inclusive and rewarding workplace for our growing team.
