KR8 shortlisted for North West Dealmakers Award

This recognition marks a major milestone for us, especially as we only launched earlier this year. It stands as a testament to the hard work and dedication of our talented team, and to the invaluable support we have received from our clients, partners, and introducers.

Managing Director David Fleming commented:

“We’re thrilled to be nominated for Turnaround Team of the Year only seven months since our launch. This recognition highlights the incredible achievements of our dedicated team and the outstanding support from our clients.

In just over half a year, KR8 Advisory has grown from a start-up to a fast-emerging leader in the advisory sector. Our journey so far has been defined by rapid growth, collaborative partnerships, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Strategic Expansion

After a whirlwind start, we were able to open offices in Manchester, London, and Leeds. We later moved into a brand-new space in Manchester, doubling our capacity and giving us the room to grow our team and services even further.

Impressive Delivery

We have completed 150+ engagements through 50 introducers across all service lines.
Notably, we also delivered our first global assignment – flying a team out to the Nordics to work on an international advisory project.

Team Growth and Development

Our team has grown from 8 to 37, including key senior hires, with more joining by September 2025. Within this time, we recruited our first graduate cohort, and we also launched the KR8 Performance Pathway to support career growth and development.

Engagement and Brand Building

In June, we had the pleasure of welcoming many of our valued clients, partners, and guests to KR8’s official Manchester Launch Event, hosted at the stunning Ocasa Manchester. We were overwhelmed by the turnout and incredible support from the professional community.

- Released our new website
- Introduced ‘KR8 to Meet You’ – our people spotlight series
- Represented by our Real Estate team at MIPIM and UKREiiF
- Contributed thought leadership to the Financial Times and Business Insider

We extend a huge thank you to our community, as none of this would have been possible without the incredible support of our clients, partners, introducers, and the entire KR8 team. This award shortlisting is as much yours as it is ours.

Looking Ahead

While we are proud of what we have achieved in such a short space of time, we know this is just the beginning. Over the coming months, we have even more exciting plans in the pipeline: a London office launch party, new sponsorship opportunities, and continued expansion across our service lines.

Here's to an exciting future – and to everything still to come in 2025!
