London-based Cavendish, the leading investment bank for ambitious companies, has opened a new office in Manchester to launch the business’ expansion into the regional mid-market and the North West.
To lead this regional growth strategy, Cavendish has appointed Oliver Tebbutt as a Partner in the firm. A recognised and respected adviser in the market, Oliver brings more than two decades of M&A experience across multiple sectors, advising a broad range of entrepreneurial clients from his time at Deloitte, latterly as a Partner leading the Manchester corporate finance team.
As an adviser to both public and private companies, with a diverse sector offering, Cavendish’s comprehensive approach and efficient platform position the firm as a trusted and agile partner for businesses navigating today’s dynamic landscape.
Co-CEO of Cavendish John Farrugia says:
“As market confidence strengthens, we anticipate strong activity in both public and private company deals. With our integrated capabilities across these sectors and our recognised sector expertise, we are better positioned than ever to support a wide range of businesses.
“We have long held ambitions to expand into the regions, but were determined to find the right individuals to lead the business. Oliver’s excellent pedigree, first-class relationships, and proven track record in building teams were key factors that attracted us.
“Our new presence in the North West, a dynamic hub driving economic growth across the UK, ensures we are well-equipped to help more UK-based businesses achieve their ambitions and contribute to the continued expansion of the UK’s real economy.”
Commenting on his appointment, Oliver says: “Having spent the last 16 years advising entrepreneurial businesses in the North West, and having witnessed a shifting advisory landscape, I feel passionately that there is a clear role for a regionally focused advisory team that has both the appetite and experience to back ambitious management teams and their capital providers across multiple stages of growth and funding. We will achieve this through nurturing long term relationships.”
“I am excited to have found in Cavendish, a shared vision to achieve this goal, and a wider team which is uniquely placed to advise across the capital spectrum as well as bringing relevant sector insight and global connectivity.”
Cavendish’s existing M&A team comprises 45 people specialists based in London. In building a new regionally focused advisory team in Manchester, Cavendish will be looking to add talent at all levels of the business, with clear career growth opportunities for entrepreneurially minded and creatively curious individuals.
Oliver adds: “A strong, supportive culture that trained and developed individuals was a key strength of the team I was proud to lead over the last 16 years. This is something that I intend to replicate with Cavendish.”
The Cavendish Manchester office will be located in the heart of Manchester from January, with long term space secured at the prestigious new development, No.1 St Michaels, when complete in Spring 2025.
