We are delighted to announce that our Chief Executive Officer, Nigel Greenaway, has been shortlisted for the Equity-Backed Entrepreneur of the Year 2025 at the Great British Entrepreneur Awards.

The GBEA category recognises entrepreneurs who have scaled at pace with the backing of investment, while retaining vision, values, and strategic control. Under Nigel’s leadership, GS Verde Group has done just that.

The recognition comes on the heels of GS Verde Group recently scaling the latest Experian Market IQ Report, with the Group climbing the rankings to sit 13th in the UK & Ireland of M&A advisors as well as 4th in the South West, 6th in the Midlands, while continuing to be ranked number 1 in Wales, entering the 4th consecutive year in that position.

GS Verde was created to challenge the traditional methods of M&A and the way deals are done.  By providing a unique ‘one team’ approach, that combines law, finance, tax and communications, GS Verde has grown into a powerful force in the corporate advisory world. The unique model has challenged the conventional, and dispersed advisory offering for how business owners raise investment, buy, or sell a business. 

With equity investment supporting the Group’s ambitions, we’ve achieved:

• Rapid growth in headcount and revenue
• Expansion into new UK regions and international markets
• Major investments in technology, systems, and people
• Strategic acquisitions aligned to long-term goals

What sets GS Verde apart is not just what we do, it’s how we do it. That difference stems from Nigel’s vision: to build a business that operates seamlessly across disciplines, removing silos and delivering a smarter, more joined-up experience for clients. 

Under his leadership, our multi-discipline model has become a trusted approach, one that investors back, clients rely on, and our team proudly delivers every day.

The Great British Entrepreneur Awards celebrate those who build with purpose and lead with impact. To be shortlisted among so many outstanding founders is a testament to Nigel’s bold vision and the strength of the business we continue to grow together.

Congratulations, Nigel, your leadership is fuelling a new era of dealmaking.
