MaxAim LLP has appointed David Forbes as Non Executive Chairman
MaxAim LLP (“MaxAim”), the ambitious business advisory firm, has appointed David Forbes as Non Executive Chairman, with Simon Oldfield (the former chairman) remaining with the firm in a non executive capacity.
Matt Peters, Managing Partner of MaxAim, said “We are delighted to have somebody of David’s calibre to join us. His depth of corporate experience will help us develop and expand our business from the strong foundations we have built since our formation in 2010”.
MaxAim has two distinct service offerings:
- Providing outsourced Finance Director and Corporate Development Director services into a wide range of businesses, ranging from start ups to FTSE 250 plcs, covering a range of projects including strategic reviews and debt advisory. The MaxAim partners all have experience as Finance Directors as well as advisory and banking so they bring a holistic view to the numerous issues facing directors. Their practical experience in industry enables them to work with clients to exploit opportunities and solve problems rather than just identify them; and
- Providing due diligence, transaction support and portfolio management services to Corporate and Institutional investors. Current clients include Piper PE LLP, EV Group, Baird Capital Partners and Foresight Group. The partners of MaxAim play a hands-on role in all assignments, primarily because they believe that this is essential to provide the level of support their client’s deserve but also because they enjoy this aspect of the work.
David Forbes, who was until recently managing director of NM Rothschild & Son’s investment banking division is excited about the challenge of working with MaxAim: “The strength of the whole team is second to none in the market in which it operates with a proposition that is subtly different to any other offering I have experienced. Their development to date has been exceptional, primarily due to their strong relationships and reputations within the market, and I am confident that we can drive significant growth by clearly communicating the proposition to the market. The current economic climate is creating a number of issues and opportunities for businesses that they may not have the skill-set in-house to address. The experience of the MaxAim team coupled with the flexible approach to working with clients can help in this situation - delivering significant value in a cost effective manner.”
Simon Oldfield (CFO of LDC backed Matrix Control Solutions) will remain in a non executive capacity and is confident that David’s appointment is the right step for MaxAim: “David’s vast experience will be invaluable in MaxAim’s development as we seek to cement our position in the business advisory community in Yorkshire and the North West”.
The partners of MaxAim LLP are Matt Peters; Ian Robinson and Chris Cormack.
