finnCap Cavendish, part of financial advisory firm, finnCap Group, had made two promotions to Partner and appointed seven new professionals to support the growth of the firm.
The promotions and investment in talent are a key part of finnCap Cavendish’s strategy to provide sector specialist and product agnostic advice to clients across their debt, equity and M&A needs.
Mark Kingston has been promoted to Partner – Head of Human Capital M&A, whilst Chris Malcolm has been appointed Partner within Technology.
Kingston joined finnCap Cavendish in 2020 and has over 15 years’ experience advising on sell-side and buy-side M&A transactions across the recruitment, training, talent assessment, e-learning, rewards & benefits and HR technology markets. Kingston has completed numerous cross-border deals, selling to strategic buyers in the US, Europe and Asia Pacific.
Malcolm joined finnCap Cavendish in 2019 as a core member of the Technology team. With over 17 years’ experience covering global technology, media and telecoms, he has advised clients on mergers and acquisitions, disposals and capital raisings worth in excess of EUR25 billion. He has previously held advisory roles at institutions including Société Générale, Nomura and Lehman Brothers.
Malcolm and Kingston’s promotions are supplemented by the addition of seven new execution professionals within the finnCap Cavendish team following the firm’s achievement of record revenues of GBP16.2 million during the six months to 30 September 2021 and a growing pipeline of M&A transactions currently being executed on.
John Farrugia, Managing Partner, finnCap Cavendish, says: “As we continue our dynamic growth strategy, investing in building our teams is a key priority. Chris and Mark’s promotions are a direct result of the exceptional results they have achieved in originating and executing deals over the past two years.
