The Cape Town headquartered public relations consultancy was recognised along with nine other professional services organisations involved in merger and acquisition activity.

The annual M&A Awards celebrate the achievements of professional advisors in the financial services space who have demonstrated excellence in their facilitation of deal making.

Commenting on the vigorous level of competition this year, Leah Jones and Elizabeth Moore, Awards directors commented: “The standard has been incredibly high this year with our judging panel having spent countless hours deliberating before reaching its conclusion. Each chosen winner has truly deserved to be presented with an award, and we wish all winners continued success over the coming years.”

Executive chairperson Marcus Brewster says: “We are delighted that our corporate division has been recognised for the consistent excellence with which our business clients are served. This is the perfect complement to our consumer division which earlier this year won a gold PRISM Award for PR Excellence in the Events category for the #SkyDine campaign for Unilever.”
