Collingwood

Founded in 2006 and headquartered in London, Collingwood advises owners and leadership teams in the B2B information, media and events sectors. It also has a US office in New York. The supplied third-party description appears to refer to a different Collingwood-branded business: this firm is not primarily a mortgage, housing-finance or Washington policy adviser.

Its work spans scale-up advice, value-creation planning, strategic reviews and corporate finance. In transactions, it supports sell-side and buy-side M&A, private-equity investment, capital raising and management buy-outs, combining sector-specific operating advice with financial modelling, valuation and deal execution.

Collingwood is especially strong in specialist lower-mid-market transactions involving subscriptions, data, analytics, publications, marketing services, conferences, tradeshows and exhibitions. Its current corporate-finance team reports more than 200 completed transactions and seven transactions advised on globally in 2025, while the firm also operates a network of more than 700 founders and CEOs in its target sectors.
