We are delighted to congratulate Conor Adamson on being named a finalist for Emerging Dealmaker of the Year at the prestigious Deals & Dealmakers Awards, which will take place at the Glasgow Hilton on 11th November.
Since joining Henderson Loggie in October 2024, Conor has quickly established himself as a trusted adviser to Scotland’s founder-led and owner-managed businesses, helping clients navigate major milestones including raising investment, acquisitions, business sales and strategic growth.
Over the last year, Conor has played a leading role in securing £5.6 million of institutional investment for two high-growth Scottish businesses. He advised MyWay Digital Health on its successful £3.0 million investment from Foresight Group and led the corporate finance support for Esk’s £2.6 million growth capital investment from Maven Capital Partners. Both transactions represented the companies’ first institutional funding rounds and required significant preparation around financial modelling, investor readiness and due diligence.
These investments will help support growth, innovation and job creation in Scotland, while enabling both businesses to pursue their international ambitions.
Beyond fundraising, Conor has worked on a diverse range of corporate finance transactions, including acquisition advisory, financial due diligence, business disposals and valuations.
What sets Conor apart is his ability to help businesses become “institution-ready”. Rather than simply focusing on completing a transaction, he works closely with founders to prepare them for investment, growth and future exit opportunities. His experience spans the private sector, public sector and advisory markets.
Conor has also built strong relationships across Scotland’s investment ecosystem, working with founders, investors, lenders and professional advisers. His commitment to supporting ambitious Scottish businesses is further demonstrated through initiatives such as the “Fund, Sell and Scale Globally” event, delivered in partnership with Barclays and Scottish Enterprise.
The recognition as an Emerging Dealmaker of the Year finalist reflects not only Conor’s technical expertise but also his commitment to helping Scottish businesses achieve their growth ambitions.
