Venture capital investment manager Deepbridge Capital has appointed Andrew Aldridge, who joined the firm in 2014 as Head of Marketing and more recently served as Chief Marketing Officer, as its new Chief Operating Officer.
This new role, will see Aldridge head up the company’s strategic projects and growth strategy, and is part of a broader management restructuring at Deepbridge, following the appointments earlier this year of Fuchsia Curry as Commercial Director, Steven Powell as Sales Director, and Phillip Secrette as Operations Director.
Aldridge sits on Deepbridge’s Operational Partnership Board alongside Ian Warwick, founder and Managing Partner, Gareth Groome, CFO, and Dr Savvas Neophytou, CIO.
Prior to joining Deepbridge, Aldridge spent four years with national IFA firm Perspective, and has prior experience within the financial and professional services sectors in senior marketing and distribution roles. He is also a board member of the Enterprise Investment Scheme Association (EISA).
With approximately £300m of assets under management, Deepbridge has supported spinouts from 17 different universities, and received a £15m co-funding mandate from British Business Investment’s Regional Angels Programme in 2021. Over the past two years, more than 90% of the firm’s investments have been outside of London, supporting innovators across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
