    Private equity firms scrambling to deploy a wave of dry powder amassed before the Covid-19 crisis has lifted UK takeovers to their highest level in 14 years, reveal new figures released today.

    The overall value of deals involving UK companies jumped 10 per cent to $630.8bn this year, the highest print since 2007, according to data from Refinitiv.

    In total, private equity firms launched 781 takeovers targeting British businesses this year, the highest since records began in 1980, worth just over $85bn.
