Dow Schofield Watts (DSW) Corporate Finance's Cardiff team has strengthened its 2026 deal record after successfully completing three major transactions across the technology, manufacturing, and specialist business services sectors. The latest deals highlight continued investor appetite for high-growth businesses and reinforce the firm's growing presence in the UK mergers and acquisitions market.

One of the transactions saw DSW Corporate Finance advise Innovation Investment Capital (IIC), which is backed by Cardiff Capital Region (CCR), on its investment in Coaches' Voice. The football education platform serves more than 4,000 organizations worldwide and plans to use the funding to expand its technology platform, enhance coaching education, and strengthen its partnership with the Football Association of Wales.

The Cardiff-based advisory team also supported the shareholders of Bay Productions during the sale of a majority stake in the company to Kingsford Investments. The investment is expected to provide the scenic production specialist with additional capital to accelerate growth while expanding its capabilities in delivering large-scale theatre, entertainment, and live event productions.

In another significant transaction, DSW Corporate Finance advised SIP Building Systems (SBS) on its multi-million-pound acquisition of SBUK Group. The acquisition expands SBS's manufacturing capacity and market reach, creating a stronger platform for structural insulated panel solutions and supporting future growth in modern construction methods across the UK.

The trio of completed deals follows a successful 2025 for the Cardiff office, which expanded its leadership team and completed multiple transactions across several industries. According to the firm, strong interest from private equity firms, institutional investors, and strategic buyers continues to drive merger and acquisition activity throughout Wales and the wider UK market.

DSW Corporate Finance said its active pipeline and recent deal completions demonstrate sustained confidence in ambitious businesses seeking investment, acquisitions, or strategic exits as they pursue their next phase of growth.
