HOUSTON - eTradeWire -- Gene Townley, Founder & Head Broker of TNT Business Brokers, has been recognized by the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA) with the prestigious Deal Maker Award and The Platinum Chairman's Circle Award for his outstanding performance during 2025.

The awards were presented at the 2026 IBBA Annual Conference held in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The IBBA is the world's largest professional trade association for business brokers and M&A Advisors.

"I am truly honored to accept these two awards. To be recognized by respected peers and industry leaders in the business brokerage profession is both humbling and deeply meaningful," said Townley. "Business brokerage is ultimately about people—the entrepreneurs who have spent years building their companies, the buyers pursuing new opportunities, and the advisors who help bring successful transactions together. Any success I have achieved is the result of the trust those clients have placed in me and the amazing support team I am surrounded by. I would like to thank my clients for allowing me to be part of such important moments in their business journeys. I also want to recognize my colleagues, referral partners, mentors, and support team. Your expertise, professionalism, and commitment to excellence have contributed greatly to this recognition."
