Quercus International is the exclusive UK member firm of the Terra Alliance International M&A network and in 2023 member firms completed 97 transactions, a 10% increase on the previous year. Deal value 2023  also increased, by over 40%, to $18 billion.  The chart below shows that active sectors over the past 12 months include Industrial, Consumer, Energy (including waste) and Technology.

For the five years to December 2023, member firms completed 461 transactions with a combined deal value of more than US$126 billion.

Andrew Clegg, Quercus Partner said:

"Uncertain economic conditions across the globe over the past 12 months make these exceptional results even more impressive and reflect well on the strength of the relationships across the Alliance and the collaborative nature of the network.  2024 is going to bring its own challenges but our current pipeline suggests that UK businesses continue to look overseas for growth and that UK assets are of particular interest to overseas buyers."

As  Terra Alliance celebrates its 20th year, Quercus is pleased to announce that member firms completed 88 transactions with a combined deal value of more than US$13 billion in 2022. For the five years to December 2022, member firms completed 459 transactions with a combined deal value of more than US$115 billion. Over half of last year's deals were in the Consumer, Industrial and Technology sectors.

Andrew Clegg, Quercus Partner and Terra Alliance Steering Committee member said:

"These excellent results are underpinned by deep, consistent levels of cooperation between our 400 colleagues across the globe. Here in the UK, we saw a marked uptick in overseas interest in UK assets in 2022 and we see similar trends in our current order book. Cross-border activity will continue to take centre stage in M&A as businesses seek out new markets for growth and secure supply chains."
