20 Years of Trusted Advice & 2023 Year In Review

In 2003, we launched England & Company to provide high-quality strategic advisory services to entrepreneur-led technology companies – businesses that the established investment banks had largely abandoned in the wake of the “dotcom bust.” Leveraging market experience, creativity, and an unflagging loyalty to our clients, we achieved some terrific results. Celebrating our 20th year of providing trusted advice, we continued to deliver for our clients in 2023.

Over the last 20 years, we expanded areas of industry focus, service offerings, and geographic footprint to become an investment bank with a full suite of advisory services and a global reach dedicated to mid-market companies and their financial sponsors. To maintain momentum for the future, in 2023, we continued to add exceptional professionals to our platform, expand our international reach, and, most importantly, deliver compelling results for our clients.

Moving into our third decade, I’d like to take a moment to thank our clients for the trust they have placed in us over the years and share some highlights from the last year. Our client-focused mission will never change, and our ability to deliver has never been stronger. If your company is contemplating a strategic initiative – acquisition, sale, capital raise, or restructuring – please reach out to me or any of our team.

Growing the Platform

Over the past year, England attracted highly accomplished professionals to enhance our Debt Advisory and Restructuring capabilities, as well as expand our advisory reach in Technology and the Asia-Pacific region.

     

   


Expanding International Reach

In 2023, England transacted with companies in a dozen countries across five continents. During the year, we continued to leverage our membership in the World M&A Alliance, a partnership of thirteen middle-market investment banks worldwide.

Additionally, in 2023, we opened an office in Singapore to deepen our reach in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Our presence in Singapore has yielded meaningful results for clients based in both North America as well as the APAC region, providing them with access to an expanded array of investment and M&A opportunities.
