Cenkos is a leading UK securities business, which acts as nominated advisor, sponsor, broker and financial adviser to companies, focusing on UK small- and mid-cap companies and investment funds. Since inception in 2005 it has raised more than £22bn in equity capital for corporate clients, which stood at 107 at end December 2022.
On a pro forma basis the combined group will have more than 210 retained listed/quoted clients, over 230 employees and revenue of more than £50m. The capabilities of the two companies are complementary and when combined will encompass equity capital markets, M&A advisory, debt advisory and private growth capital fundraising. The boards see potential for significant cost synergies and believe greater scale should provide a stable platform for growth.
