Leading independent M&A advisory firms BHP Corporate Finance and IMA Corporate Finance have collaborated and have officially changed their names to Translink Corporate Finance UK.

Both Midlands-based IMA and Yorkshire-based BHP Corporate Finance are not new to Translink, having joined the group in 2007 and 2019 respectively and have partnered various Translink country offices on a variety of cross-border deals since.

Since joining Translink, the two firms have developed very close working relationships with global colleagues and specialists within the Translink network. The rebrand sees not only a more comprehensive reach across the UK, but also the union of 30 advisory specialists with collective sector expertise in the UK, including TMT (with extensive experience in SAAS, ed-tech, data and e-commerce), automotive, industrials, energy, and healthcare.

Advising on and supporting UK deals will remain core to the Translink UK team, along with being able to identify and enjoy high quality, nuanced engagement with global buyers and investors to further cement global and cross-border deals.
