Chesham Amalgamations is the trading name of Chesham Amalgamations & Investments Limited, a pioneering mergers and acquisitions broking company based in the UK. It was formed in 1962 by Francis Singer and Nicholas Stacey, both Austro-Hungarian, at 36 Chesham Place, Belgravia,[1] with the intention of assisting "in 'peaceful' mergers and, in this respect, played a small but significant role in the reorganization of UK industry during the Sixties and Seventies. The company was unusual in dealing only with uncontested mergers, and so avoided the protracted battles that were often harmful to the companies involved."
Stacey introduced Sir Miles Thomas, later Lord Thomas of Remenham, who had previously been Chairman of the British Overseas Airways Corporation, now British Airways,[2] and President and Chairman of the National Savings Committee.[3] Thomas later became Chairman of Chesham.
