Four deals and four senior hires for Debrett’s Private Finance
Debrett’s Private Finance (DPF) has announced the completion of four deals and four senior hires in March.
The completed deals, advised on by DPF, are the sale of Locowise, a global marketing SaaS business, to All3Media Limited, the investment in Joblogic, a leading field management software company, by Axiom Equity, the acquisition of Low&Behold, an integrated marketing consultancy, by Elaph Media plc, and the completion of a multi-million pound fund raise for an undisclosed national engineering group to be announced formally in the coming weeks.
The senior hires for the Solihull and Birmingham firm are Mark Selby, Martin Poole, Tom Eastwood and Simon Carin.
Selby, former national head of corporate finance for Azets, played a major part in the growth of the business.
Poole joined Azets as a partner in 2015 following time spent in senior positions with other advisory firms and investment banks. He has advised shareholders, management teams and private equity investors over a near 25 year career.
Eastwood, a member of the Chartered Securities Institute, joined Azets in 2017, having exited a distribution business where he was the managing director and shareholder. He therefore has first-hand experience of fund-raising, buying and selling owner-managed businesses.
Carin, chair of the UK Manufacturers Alliance, holds numerous senior roles and joins as a non-executive director responsible for expansion into the building products, manufacturing and materials sectors.
Darryl Eales, chairman, said: “This business has incredible momentum at the moment. It’s a fantastic environment to welcome Mark, Martin, Tom and Simon into. Their reputations as excellent advisers and high integrity professionals precedes them. I look forward to working with them as we grow the business even further in 2023.”
