More than 310 deals were added to Pratt's Stats, which now lists over 23,000 private-company merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions in its database. Business brokers and other intermediaries who contribute the most transactions are inducted into the Pratt’s Stats Hall of Fame. For the second quarter of 2015, they are:

• Ian MacLachlan (Business Team Inc.);

• Steve Josovitz (The Shumacher Group Inc.);

• Stanley Pollock (Professional Practice Planners); and

• Trevin Rasmussen (Bristol Group).

BVR would also like to congratulate the second-quarter iPad Mini raffle winner, Gary Rogers (Kingsley Group), and the $250 New Contributor raffle winner, Christine Baker (Charter Capital Partners). BVR extends sincere thanks to these and all of the individuals who have helped BVR build Pratt’s Stats into the important data source that it is today.
