Two multi-million pound regional deals have been announced in the past week, as Wragge & Co advises Birmingham City Council on the sale of the iconic National Exhibition Centre (NEC) for around £300m and DLA Piper’s Manchester office leads on the £560m float of local success story Boohoo.com.
After a competitive pitch, Birmingham-headquartered Wragges won the mandate to sell NEC Group, which also owns the National Indoor Arena and the International Convention Centre. The deal is being led by corporate partner David Vaughan and real estate partner Robert Caddick.
