As Insider recently celebrated 30 years of Dealmakers, the event is now going national for the first time as all the year's regional winners face off to crown grand champions.
Winners from across the English regions and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland will come together at The International Convention Centre, Birmingham on 6 February. The headline sponsor for the event is Rathbones, incorporating Investec Wealth & Investment (UK).
Ahead of the event, Jack Roper (investment manager, Manchester) and Nick Jones (divisional director, Birmingham) from Investec-Rathbones visited the Insider offices to explain why it's so important that they back this event and give their outlook for dealmaking in the coming year.
Editor Simon Keegan sat down with the pair in the Insider studio and they also discussed how entrepreneurs can be supported throughout their journey.
