Close Growth Capital, a provider of combined equity and debt funding, today announced the appointment of Simon Jobson as investment executive.
Simon joins Close Growth Capital from Deloitte & Touche LLP where he was a manager in the Lead Advisory Practice of their Corporate Finance division. He previously worked in Deloitte’s Audit and Assurance division, following a stint as a graduate in the Financial Markets division at Arthur Andersen.
Simon has a specialist knowledge of the support services business and retail sectors. At Deloitte & Touche he advised on a number of MBOs and MBIs, most recently the £30m MBI of Speciality Retail Group, a formal menswear retailer and owners of the “Suits You” and “Racing Green” brands.
Bill Crossan, managing director at Close Growth Capital said:
“We are delighted that Simon has agreed to become the latest addition to our team. He clearly has an excellent corporate finance pedigree – skills that we will be able to put to good use as we continue to grow the business.”
Simon Jobson, investment executive at Close Growth Capital said:
“Close Growth Capital’s ‘one-stop’ approach to finance was what first attracted me to the business. By offering investee companies both debt and finance, Close Growth Capital can develop a solid partnership with management teams that is not always possible with the more traditional providers. I look forward to helping the company at this exciting time in its development.”
