WestBridge announces four promotions
We’re delighted to announced a number of promotions following a successful year in which we completed nine transactions.
James MacLeay and Ed Minton have been promoted to director. Since joining the firm in 2018, James and Ed have been integral to the growth and success of WestBridge, supporting the partner group in establishing the business’ reputation as a leader in the lower mid-market.
Both have received market recognition in recent years in the form of several young and emerging dealmaker nominations and accolades and are recognised as key to a number of high performance partnerships with management teams in our portfolio.
Rory Whitrow and Jess Ledger have been promoted to the role of investment manager, having been with the firm for four and two years respectively.
Peter Barkley, partner, said:
“It gives me great pleasure to announce these thoroughly deserved promotions which recognise the hard work and continued development of four of our team members. We are committed to rewarding high performers and creating an opportunity for progression within our business.
“The past year has been an especially busy period, during which we have completed two platform investments, six bolt-on acquisitions and a partial exit.
“James and Ed have demonstrated outstanding expertise and steadfast commitment to excellence, making them invaluable members of our leadership team.
“Likewise, Jess and Rory are key culture carriers within our business. Their contribution and commitment to the team has been exceptional. We are incredibly grateful for their hard work and excited to support them as they continue to gain experience and develop.”
