Oil and gas continues to be the most active sector when it comes to deal making in the beginning of 2019 according to the latest Deals+ update from Anderson Anderson & Brown Corporate Finance (link).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having said that deal flow has remained steady for all sectors although the market conditions in various sectors are very much depicted by the wider political environment.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From an Oil & Gas perspective, there continues to be significant M&A activity in the upstream E&P space with a number of ongoing high-profile sales processes.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent transactions completed during Q1 2019 include RockRose\u2019s acquisition of Marathon Oil\u2019s UK business for \u00a3107m and DNO\u2019s hostile takeover of Faroe Petroleum for \u00a3641m.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deal activity in the Oil & Gas services market also continues to show good recovery, with deals<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in the last quarter including First Reserve\u2019s \u00a3275m acquisition of Weir Group\u2019s flow control division and Global Energy Group buying Apollo Offshore Engineering and Aiken Group in the space of a week.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the construction sector we also saw a number of stellar deals completed in Q1 2019, including the \u00a331m acquisition of Walker Homes by Springfield Properties and the MBO of CMS Window Systems backed by Maven Capital Partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fund-raising activity in Q1 2019 was led by a number of emerging technology companies, including Administrate raising \u00a33.78m and Swipii Labs raising \u00a31.9m.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A stand-out deal during the quarter was the seven figure investment in Project Heather to support the re-launch of the Scottish Stock Exchange after almost fifty years.
