Quantify Advisors (Quantify), a corporate finance firm headquartered in Aberdeen, is eyeing further growth after completing an impressive first year advising businesses and entrepreneurs throughout Scotland and the UK.
The AGCC member firm is fronted by seasoned corporate finance professionals, Tom Faichnie and Melanie Clark, and has already advised on 14 completed deals with a cumulative deal value in excess of £150million, including the recent high-profile deal of assisting Hero Brands on obtaining strategic investment into German Doner Kebab (GDK) by US Private Equity firm, True, and providing financial due diligence to Hydrasun, a D2Zero company, on its acquisition of KC Controls.
Within the first year of trading, Quantify has also bolstered its team with the appointments of corporate finance manager, Robyn Purcell, who joined the firm last August following roles in PwC UK and KCA Deutag, and Callum Laidlaw who was recently appointed as Quantify’s new associate following four years auditing companies throughout the energy sector in his role as senior associate at PwC UK.
On reaching the year one milestone, Quantify’s Partner, Tom Faichnie commented: "While Quantify is a relatively new entity, I was confident our new venture would be a success as Melanie and I have worked with each other for a number of years and have now completed over 100 deals together! Following a great debut year as Quantify, where we successfully established the business and doubled our team, I’m so excited to see what the next 12 months hold for the business as we aim to expand our trusted client base and add to the already highly capable team we’ve assembled here in Aberdeen.”
Melanie Clark, Partner at Quantify, added: “It’s been a pleasure to launch Quantify with Tom where we have continued to combine our experience in advising some of the UK’s most ambitious entrepreneurs and businesses. A real highlight has been welcoming both Robyn and Callum to the business and we look forward seeing both further develop their already fantastic skillsets and continue to flourish within the business for years to come.”
Further notable deals Quantify has advised on over the last 12 months include being the lead advisors to Heatcare Oil & Gas on the sale to Cardo Group, advising UK private equity firm, Foresight Group, on its investment into Aberdeen-based Quality Foods and financial due diligence for BGF on its investments into Glacier Energy and Sulmara Subsea.
