Corporate finance advisory firm makes senior hire

Shaw & Co, the specialist corporate finance advisory firm, has appointed Peter Doe as senior manager supporting the company’s mergers and acquisitions and business funding divisions.

Doe has experience of driving and delivering shareholder wealth, raising capital (both debt and equity) and facilitating complex mergers and acquisitions across a range of industries.

He joins the company from £9m software business Joblogic, where he was chief financial Officer overseeing the group finance function across the UK and a number of global territories including the USA, Pakistan and Vietnam. Prior to this, he spent over 15 years as a corporate finance advisor for Isca Ventures, Purple Lime and Target Corporate Finance, working on a range of notable deals including:

The sale of proptech business Terrafirma to Dye & Durham, a Canadian listed consolidator.
A £12m private equity fund raise for Vital Ingredient, a chain of made-to-order salad and soup bars.
The sale of UK software and consultancy services company Skipworth Engelhardt Asset Management Strategists to Arcadis NV, a global design, engineering and consultancy business headquartered in Amsterdam.

At Shaw & Co he will focus on all aspects of buying, selling or funding the growth of a business including exit planning, mergers, valuations, MBIs and MBOs.

Jim Shaw, CEO and founder, Shaw & Co, said: “Peter is another great addition to our rapidly growing team. It’s also great to be working together again having previously been colleagues some 15 years ago.

“He will have a key role to play in supporting our strategy to really transform the quality of corporate advisory services being offered to SME owners across the UK who are looking to buy, sell or fund the growth of their business.”
