Matrix Private Equity Partners, the small buyout specialist, has expanded its team with the appointment of Christopher Price as an investment manager.
The hire comes on the back of two Matrix new deal completions: iglu.com and Country Baskets.
Price (pictured) joins the firm from Foresight Group.
Mark Wignall, chief executive of Matrix Private Equity Partners, says: “Having completed three investments and two exits since the summer, we’re confident that there are good prospects for new investments in 2010. As an experienced deal doer, Chris will hit the ground running and ensure that we are well resourced to capitalise on the opportunities that come forward.”
Price adds: “Matrix Private Equity Partners is known for backing quality businesses and successful entrepreneurs who drive growth and deliver value. I’m looking forward to building on my past experience and working for a private equity house with a strong commitment to the buyout market.”
Prior to working for Foresight Group, Price worked for Icon Corporate Finance.
