Corporate finance firm expands global footprint with new Yorkshire office

An international firm specialising in corporate finance has announced the opening of a new office in Yorkshire.

Clearwater International is set to launch its newest office in Leeds as part of its ongoing national and international expansion.

With 17 offices across nine countries in Europe and Asia, Clearwater International specialises in mergers and acquisitions, private equity and debt advisory services.

The new office, which will be the firm’s fifth UK base in addition to offices in Manchester, London, Birmingham and Nottingham, will be led by recently appointed partner Richard Goldsack.

Richard Goldsack, partner at Clearwater International, commented: “Clearwater’s ambitions to grow its regional presence, its strong deal flow alongside its international platform provides an exciting opportunity.

“I look forward to building on our regional presence, which has already seen some notable deals in the area, including the re-financing of Seabrook Crisps with Apera Capital, the sale of Mandata to LDC and the sale of Sidhil to Drive DeVilbis Healthcare.”

Phil Burns, Clearwater International UK managing partner, added: “It is an exciting time for the business as we continue on a path of growth and investment in people.

“We are delighted to welcome Richard to Clearwater International and extend our office coverage to further develop our relationships with clients in Yorkshire.

“Richard will be a great addition to the team, and brings with him strong relationships with many of the region’s businesses and PE firms.”
