Zeus has Capital idea

MANCHESTER-based corporate finance advisory firm Zeus Capital has opened an office in London and recruited four members of staff to service it.

The latest arrival at the Berkeley St offices is its new head of equities, John Goold, who joins from Arden Partners. Mr Goold was one of the founders of Arden Partners and held a similar position at the firm.

Meanwhile, Zeus has also recruited Richard Darlington to its Manchester HQ to its private company and private equity team. He joins from Barclays Capital.
The firm has also joined cross-border advisory network Global M&A, which it said would advance its expertise in overseas deals.
