Inflexion Private Equity has promoted Mark Williams from investment director to partner with immediate effect.
Williams joined the investment team in 2011 and has been involved in a number of transactions including the firm’s investment in corporate travel company Reed & Mackay last month; the carve-out of Kynetec; and the GBP92 million buyout of Alcumus.
Williams sits on the board of all three companies.
He was also closely involved in the buyout and subsequent exit of CTC Aviation Group, one of the world’s largest independent pilot training companies, which generated a 3x return in May 2015.
In addition to the promotion of Williams, Inflexion has recruited Andrew Neville as an assistant director in the firm’s investment team. Neville joins from Octopus Healthcare where he was involved in the financing, construction and opening of a new entrant to the UK private hospital market and the acquisitive build-up of a new operator in the UK special needs schools space.
Prior to Octopus, Neville worked in the healthcare team at GI Partners and prior to that was at Three Delta and PwC Corporate Finance.
Simon Turner, managing partner at Inflexion, says: “We are delighted to announce Mark’s promotion and the addition of Andy to our team, enhancing our sector expertise across healthcare and education. Mark has made a significant contribution over many years and his promotion to partner is well-deserved.”
