Black-tie gala awards dinner hosted by Mark Durden-Smith celebrating excellence in the Thames Valley corporate finance and dealmaking community.
The Thames Valley Deals Awards return to the Select Car Leasing Stadium on Wednesday 11 November, marking the 19th time the awards have been held. It's a black-tie gala hosted by The Business Magazine in partnership with Insider, and it's built around the corporate finance and dealmaking community across the Thames Valley. The night is about the region's most innovative, impactful and impressive deals, individuals and organisations from the past twelve months, and the winners are announced throughout the evening.
It's a broad field, too. The awards recognise advisers, bankers, accountants, lawyers, private equity investors and funding specialists, so the room brings together a good cross-section of the area's finance and legal sectors. To be eligible, applicants have to be based in the Thames Valley region, which keeps the focus firmly on the local business community. The whole thing is hosted by Mark Durden-Smith, one of Britain's most experienced television and corporate presenters. He's a regular Aviva Premiership Rugby anchor and was one of ITV's main hosts for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, and he's worked across entertainment as well, with This Morning, Wish You Were Here - Now and Then and ITV's Boat Race coverage.

The evening runs on a set schedule: doors open at 6:00pm, and you're seated for dinner at 7:00pm, with the night wrapping up around 11:00pm. The venue is the Select Car Leasing Stadium, Junction 11, M4, Reading RG2 0FL, so it's easy enough to get to from the motorway.
