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."
