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.
A warm welcome to our new website
This is my very first Quarterly Report, allowing the opportunity to share reflections on the M&A world, our year, and moreover look ahead to 2025.
Boy, what a rush of deal completions ahead of the Budget! The stats have been incredible, with many fearing significant hikes in CGT which in the end were more modest and will allow our Entrepreneurs to stay focused on where the best home for their business is, rather than being driven by tax changes.
We’ve been expanding the team, welcoming Sophie, Geraint, and Mark in the latter stages of 2024, whilst continuing to invest in our tech-stack and Breeze House to ensure we have the very best place to work (we will always be in the office every day).
Most importantly there have been plenty of smiles as we have delivered our deals, collected some notable Dealmakers Awards, and found time to support our charities.
As we look into 2025 we have our most significant level of engagements to deliver, which is very reassuring. Our clients are seeking the very best of homes for their businesses and, whilst we will not shout about those achievements, we are so proud to be by their side.
