Our Six-Month Corporate Finance Review and Industry Social features insights from experts who will review the past six months of deals in the North West, exploring notable shifts and transformations within the Corporate Finance market and an examination of how political factors may affect the corporate finance landscape. Not only that we have a fireside chat with Vic Stewart from The Alchemist, focusing on being a CFO in a PE backed business and having had to navigate that business through Covid and various other macro factors, including taking the brand internationally.

Following the presentations, enjoy drinks, buffet, and a fantastic opportunity to get social with over 200 professionals from Corporate Finance, Private Equity, and Financial & Professional Services.
