Clearwater adds to Birmingham team
Birmingham-based Clearwater Corporate Finance has recruited Olivia Prew to its team. Prew joins from The Co-operative Corporate Bank in the city.
At the Co-operative Corporate Bank, Prew ran its liabilities campaign for the Birmingham office, identifying, researching and contacting new prospects. She also assisted with the management of a portfolio of clients with turnovers ranging from £2m to £75m. Prew is set to join Clearwater as a deal originator.
Prior to that, Prew worked at Lloyds TSB as a business manager, where she managed a portfolio of smaller turnover businesses.
In her new role, Prew's main task will be to identify and research new corporate finance opportunities for Clearwater.
Phil Burns, managing partner at Clearwater, said: "We have seen a huge increase in deal flow over the first half of the year, and we expect momentum to build over the second half.
"The M&A world has turned into a sellers' market in 2011, with exit valuations rising strongly across most sectors. Olivia's arrival will help us spread this word to clients and potential clients in and around the Midlands region."
