Equiteq has been shortlisted for the Small to Medium Sized Business of the Year for the 2016 Lloyds Bank National Business Awards. Equiteq is the global leader in providing strategic advisory and mergers & acquisitions services to consulting and IT services firms.
Paula Allerton, Equiteq’s Marketing Director said: “To ensure that our knowledge of the consulting M&A market is deep and second to none, we significantly invest in market research and analysis. We are therefore delighted that our commitment to our clients has been recognised by the judges of the Lloyds Bank National Business Awards UK 2016 and that we have been shortlisted for such a prestigious award.” The finalists were chosen from the hundreds of businesses that entered or were nominated across 18 award categories. Described as “the Oscars of great British business” by David Cameron, former Prime Minister, this year’s prestigious award ceremony will take place on Tuesday 15th November, at the Grosvenor House, Park Lane, where the winners will be revealed. Tom Broughton, Group Brand Director of the Lloyds Bank National Business Awards said: “Due to the high number of entries for this years’ awards, narrowing the entries down to 140 finalists was a difficult task. But through a thorough and comprehensive judging process, the selected finalists demonstrate exceptional quality and diversity across a range of business sectors within the UK. We are now looking forward to the next step of the process and meeting some of the finalists face-to-face.” ©Equiteq 2016
