Peter Cullum voted 'deal maker of the year'

Peter Cullum was awarded the accolade of 'Deal Maker of the Year' at the annual M&A Magazine Awards at the Intercontinental Hotel in Park Lane last week in front of 500 senior investment and equity fund management guests.

The judges were looking for proven "serial deal making ability", ability to spot targets, negotiation skills and understanding of pre and post deal issues. Peter was the only finalist from the Financial Services sector.

During 2006, Towergate made 14 acquisitions ranging from small and medium sized businesses through to their biggest deals to date.

Peter Cullum acknowledged the hard work of his colleagues when commenting: "Towergate is team sport and that is particularly the case when acquiring businesses. Each causes a great deal of additional work for all concerned, from Finance and Legal to HR and Marketing - they really are the stars.

There is a great deal more to a deal than just getting the numbers right, and we have accumulated a fantastic level of experience in structuring deals, ensuring the chemistry works, and encouraging management and staff to engage in Towergate’s future success. Also, equally as important, to enjoy the journey".
