Bolt will focus on sourcing and executing new investment opportunities in UK companies requiring GBP2m-GBP10m of equity finance, including MBOs/MBIs, expansion capital, replacement capital and acquisition finance. He has built up extensive experience of investing in UK businesses over the course of a 15 year career in Corporate Finance. For the past three years he has been an Investment Director with Catapult Venture Managers, and prior to that held a similar role at Kaupthing. Earlier in his career he worked at Deloitte, qualifying as an ACA and advising on M&A and private equity in the mid market.
“I am very pleased to be joining Maven at what is an exciting time for the business,” says Bolt. “Maven has an established track record of investing in mature private companies, and a highly visible presence across the corporate finance sector, and I look forward to working with the team and local advisers to continue that success.”
