Co-Founder & Director of Operations
Established in 2018, Breeze has grown significantly to become one of the largest and most respected independent M&A boutiques in the Midlands region.
We specialize in Company Sales, finding the very best home for our clients and invariably that will be with an International Acquirer/Investor.
‘Our motivation and drive are inspired by our love for the work that we do, but also by our close friend Andy Breeze who tragically lost his fight with cancer in the summer of 2016. Andy was a much-admired deal maker, an absolute gentleman and a wonderfully talented colleague. We do so miss him, and it is in his memory – and as a legacy to him – that we have chosen to have his name above our door’.
Today we have a team of 15, brimming with transaction experience and entirely focused on delivering the very best outcomes for our clients.
We know every opportunity is unique and we tailor our offering for each and every client.
With clients at the heart, our people and tech-stack, we provide tailored solutions which align with their objectives and motivations. Our relentless pursuit of excellence is the driving force behind everything we do; we are dedicated to delivering world class results.
Our Just Cause
Here at Breeze our people share a common purpose based on exemplary ethics and are inspired to help build our business, innovate constantly and deliver sustainable results, whilst thinking like owners.
We pride ourselves on our people, who have a deep sense of responsibility, belonging and safety; we are generous of time, resource and spirit.
As a dynamic privately owned company our success in the world of M&A comes from the priority and investment we make each day in our clients, communities, professional friends and the Breeze team.
We want those close to us to benefit most from our investment which is a result of the brilliant work we aspire to deliver constantly; our clients are at the centre of all that we do.
We are constantly ‘Investing in Communities and changing People’s lives’.

Breeze has very carefully established itself as a leading M&A boutique, benefitting from a significant level of transaction foresight:
In 2023 we delivered a cumulative deal value that exceeded £250m, by way of 14 Completions. In 2024 we have delivered an improved year of financial results and progress.
For 2025, benefitting from a strong and engaged pipeline of new assignments, we can be equally confident of achieving another year of investment in our resources and facilities.
Inside the business we are continuing the implementation of a strategically dynamic business model focused on delivering infinite and sustainable value for all we work with. Essentially, we are already building in our own Succession Plan.
Deepest of thanks to all of our clients, professional community and the acquirers/investors we have the pleasure of working with.
Boy, what a first 6 months …
As we drew a close to 2024, we really couldn’t have imagined what was around the corner in our M&A world.
The geopolitical newsreel has been frantic and for sure this has dampened deal appetite and pushed out our diligence processes. Quite rightly there has been much more reflectiveness in the world.
Nonetheless, Breeze finds itself in “rude health” as we look back and forwards for 2025. On the Deals front we will shortly have delivered our 7th transaction and we expect to be in double figures by the end of the year.
Alongside 2026 is shaping well, with a handsome amount of transactions already heading for a Q1 Completion. By then Breeze will have successfully completed £1 billion of deals in the lower to mid-market space.
Back in February (feels like a lifetime ago), we were so proud to be awarded the UK Mid-Market Corporate Finance Team of the Year 2025, at the inaugural UK Dealmakers Awards.
So the day job doesn’t change… seeking the very best of homes for our clients and whilst we will not shout about those achievements, we are so proud to be by their side – All the way!
And those successes fuel our ambition and ability to put more back into the local community. This year is full of fundraising initiatives for our chosen charity The Children’s Bereavement Centre… we expect to deliver our donation target of £25,000 and indeed do hope to exceed that pledge.
