Partner, Corporate Finance
How I can help
I provide strategic and corporate finance advice and support to both businesses and their shareholders. Typically, this involves helping with acquisitions, disposals, mergers, fundraising exercises and MBO’s.
My experience
I am both a qualified Chartered Accountant and a member of the Securities Institute.
I have been involved in lead advisory for over 10 years and also have some invaluable experience gained whilst working for 2 years in industry. As a result of this, I have a significant amount of client empathy and pride myself on my “hands on” and pragmatic approach to any transaction.
How long I've been part of the Cooper Parry team
I joined the Cooper Parry team in November 2003.What I did before
I spent 11 years working with Big 4 accountancy firms and, during a 2 year period in industry, I was the acting finance director of a £55 million turnover private equity backed business which was undergoing a significant re-structuring exercise.Great things I've done
Some of the more significant transactions I have been involved with include the:
- sale of Primary Asset Management to Medicx Fund plc
- sale of St Tropez Inc and its UK distributor
- merger of Thomas Hannah Associates and the Q Group
- sale of Go Plant Limited
- £80 million institutional buy-out of Smartstream Reconciliations
- £50+ million sale of Carrington Carr Limited to AWD Holdings AG
- £25 million sale of Emtec Holdings Limited to Carter & Carter plc
I have also advised on a variety of smaller (ie. sub £15 million) M&A and MBO transactions and have supported transactions with a number of highly profile names (including the likes of Rover, Coates Viyella plc, Rolls Royce plc and Del Monte International.).
