Dealmaker Bolt sprints into Springboard

CORPORATE financier Ben Bolt has joined Birmingham’s Springboard Corporate Finance as a partner.

Bolt is a well-known figure amongst the dealmaking community in the Midlands through his time with Deloitte, Kaupthing Singer & Friedlander, Catapult Venture Managers and, most recently, as an investment director with Maven Capital Partners.

He said: “I have been impressed with the quality and professionalism of David Neate, Justin Sparks and Simon Ward and am looking forward to working alongside them and the wider Springboard team.

“With over 17 years’ corporate finance experience I believe my blend of investment and advisory skills means I am well placed to offer high quality advice to management teams; entrepreneurs and business owners.

Ward, a partner at Springboard, said: “We have seen great growth in our business over the last few years and we continue to invest to provide the best service to our clients.

“The arrival of Ben at Springboard complements the existing skills of the team and adds a further dimension to our business.

“2014 saw us complete a number of landmark deals such as the MBO of Alliance in Partnership; the sales of Crystal Motor Group, Proximity Communications and Medical Imaging and a development finance raising for Green Room Retail.

“Our current pipeline is exceptionally healthy and we look forward to a strong start to 2015.”
