Almost all venture capitalists expect to see an increase in UK activity this year, in both volume and value of deals, with particular consolidation in the retail and financial services sectors.
A survey by Grant Thornton Corporate Finance found that 98% of private equity houses thought the number of UK deals would increase in the next twelve months and 95% thought the total value of deals would increase.
Having experienced a marked rise in investor interest recently, almost 30% expected financial services to be the most consolidated sector over the next six months, with 12% going for the retail sector and 14% for healthcare.
