Corporate partner Rachael Reeves' work on the merger of Wrekin Products with Produits Industriels Lorrains (PIL) has meant that HCR is up for the International Deal of the Year award at the Insider Media Midlands Dealmakers Awards, while partner Derek Callanan's work with the sale of Premier Limpet to Amcomri Group has been shortlisted for SME Deal of the Year at the same event.
