“My time at Rcapital has been fast moving, challenging but exhilarating. We work closely with a range of trusted advisors and partners to focus on the key issues, building relationships with the management, before investing our own money. We really can execute in a matter of days.”
Having joined Rcapital in 2014, Chris is currently a Partner and is head of new investments.
Chris’ spends most of his time working with the investment team and external advisors to source, evaluate and execute new investment opportunities from a diverse range of contacts across the UK. He also sits on the board of a number of investments and is a member of Investment Committee.
Chris is a Chartered Accountant and member of the Institute for Turnaround. Prior to Rcapital, Chris worked in KPMG’s Restructuring Team for ten years where he gained extensive experience of advising diverse stakeholder groups in complex and often distressed situations. In this time Chris was involved in a range of service offerings including buy-side support, working capital optimisation and accelerated M&A. Chris was also previously seconded to a major UK clearing bank for 12 months.
Chris has been involved in over 25 investments in his time at Rcapital and has sourced and executed a number of milestone investments including Summit Media, Cluttons LLP and Nasmyth Group.
Chris lives in Bristol with his wife and son, though has spent most of his life in the Midlands which he still has a great passion for.
Outside of work Chris enjoys a range of sports and is an enthusiastic, if often unsuccessful, cyclist. Since moving to the South West Chris follows much less football and spends most of his spare time watching rugby, either Bristol Bears or his son’s local or school team, as well as doing his best to look after his giant Newfoundland dog (almost a full time job itself!).
