Merry Christmas from the Meridian Team

As we enter the Christmas period we wanted to reflect, congratulate and thank you all for another great year.

In a year that was inevitably dominated by political and economic headlines, its been reassuring to see that the Solent community continued to complete a wide range of corporate transactions. As a firm we are proud to have been involved in a wide range of deals including the cross-border disposal of national kitchen refurbishment franchise Dream Doors to American PE firm Harvest, and the MBO of a leading local recruitment firm CMA to name but a few.

As a firm we have reaffirmed our commitment to the Solent region this year, continuing to provide a market leading advisory service to owner managed businesses in the region, and working alongside a number of trusted local partners to get the best results for clients.

2019 saw further recognition in the Solent Deal Awards with both Dan Kirtley and Philip Mettam being listed as finalists in their respective categories, Meridian winning ‘PE firm of the Year’, and the 2018 Aerial Direct MBO winning Mid-range deal of the Year. As always, a huge thank you to the professionals we work with, and congratulations to all the other winners and finalists – we are extremely proud to be part of such an impressive professional community.

Looking internally, Meridian has continued to support local charities through fundraising events and have raised and contributed over £7,000 in 2019. They also continue to invest in the next generation of professionals with graduate recruits Hattie and Prabin, both completing the certificate level of their ACA training and are well on the way to being fully qualified. We have also been delighted to have Ben Churchyard and Lydia Rowswell with us on secondment as part of their training contracts at Shoosmiths and Trethowans respectively who were both invaluable members of part of the team, and we look forward to continuing to work with them for many years on their return. Finally, a thank you to Jon Barnett who joined us on secondment from Goodwood in November, continuing our long standing relationship with the Estate.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and look forward to working with you all in 2020!
