Fiander ETL wins Transaction Services Team of the Year at South Coast Deals Awards

A fantastic achievement for Fiander ETL’s Deal Advisory team, who have been named Transaction Services Team of the Year at the South Coast Deals Awards 2026, a significant regional accolade and a great reflection of the specialist expertise, ambition and depth of capability within the ETL GLOBAL group. 

The award recognises a team with a strong track record of advising businesses and shareholders through significant transactions across the South Coast and beyond. The judges specifically highlighted Fiander ETL’s support of owner-managed businesses in the lower mid-market, as well as the team’s longstanding contribution to deals across the region. 

A track record that stands out

Led by Cathy Revis, Fiander ETL’s Deal Advisory team has built an impressive track record across acquisitions, disposals, management buyouts and inward investment. 

Its published deal experience spans a broad range of sectors and transaction sizes, including transactions valued at more than £50 million, demonstrating the breadth of experience the team brings to clients at important points in their business journey. 

That combination of technical expertise, commercial understanding and deep knowledge of the South Coast market has established Fiander ETL as a trusted adviser to business owners, management teams and professional advisers. 

For ETL GLOBAL UK, it is exactly the kind of specialist capability we are proud to have within the group. 

Local expertise, connected to something bigger 

Fiander ETL brings strong regional relationships and specialist Deal Advisory expertise to the ETL GLOBAL UK group. 

Being part of ETL adds another dimension to that capability. Fiander can draw on the wider expertise of the group across accounting, tax, audit, legal and advisory services, as well as international connections when clients’ ambitions extend beyond the UK. 

This is the strength of the ETL model: independent firms with deep expertise in their own markets, connected to a wider group that can bring additional capability, insight and reach when clients need it. 

Fiander’s award is a particularly strong example of that model in action. Its success is rooted in the team’s own expertise and relationships, while its place within ETL gives that capability a broader platform. 

Celebrating Fiander’s success 

Fiander ETL also sponsored the Lender of the Year category at this year’s awards, which was won by HSBC UK Bank, recognising the important role lenders play in supporting businesses and driving deal activity across the region. 

We are delighted to celebrate Fiander ETL’s achievement and the people behind it. 

Congratulations to Cathy and the whole Deal Advisory team. Transaction Services Team of the Year is a fantastic recognition of the contribution they make to the South Coast dealmaking community, and a great example of the specialist expertise and ambition that strengthens ETL GLOBAL UK.
