WHAT DO YOU DO?

I advise management teams in private equity transactions to help secure the best outcomes for them and their colleagues, usually in the context of a sale of the business they are running. 

WHY DO YOU DO IT?
I am privileged to work with a huge variety of impressive people and their businesses and my role places me right at the centre of important transactions where I can help make a real difference for my clients.  The issues we advise on are very important to our clients and are incredibly personal so I often build really strong and trusting relationships which endure post deal. 

WHAT KIND OF PROJECTS HAVE YOU BEEN INVOLVED IN?
I have spent over 30 years advising on private equity transactions and the last 13 years have been completely focused on advising the management teams in over 150 completed deals.  They have ranged from small niche businesses valued at small tens of millions of £ to huge global businesses valued in the £billions.  In every one of those I feel we have made a positive difference for our clients and got them a better deal than they would have done without our experience and expertise to guide them. 

WHAT’S ON TOP OF YOUR BUCKET LIST?
A visit to Japan with my family!  I am intrigued to experience what I perceive to be such a different and unique culture.
