Bluefin says search for acquisitions will be ‘aggressive’
Bluefin has hired Towergate’s Paul Roberts as acquisitions director.
Roberts, whose start date is not yet confirmed, has worked at Towergate since 2007, most recently as director of acquisitions for its network division.
He will report to Bluefin chief financial officer Tim Phillip.
Roberts is working on a “variety of projects during his notice period,” a Towergate spokeswoman said.
Mike Bruce, managing director of Bluefin, said: “Acquisitions are important to our growth plans for 2013 and beyond. Paul is an exciting addition to an extremely strong team focused on identifying and acquiring businesses that meet our stringent criteria of adding value to both Bluefin and to our clients. We expect to continue to be aggressive in our search for suitable acquisitions and Paul’s significant and relevant experience will be pivotal in driving this process forwards.”
Roberts said: “Whilst I’ve had an enjoyable and successful time at Towergate, the chance to work with a business like Bluefin, with its ambitious appetite for growth and proven track record of successfully integrating acquisitions, was simply too attractive.”
