Clearwater advises on acquisition of Ideal Shopping Direct

Emmanuel Xerri

I founded the Clearwater team in Marseilles over 20 years ago. The Mediterranean region has many up-and-coming businesses which we are ideally placed to advise given our close proximity. I started my career in the corporate finance department of PwC and then joined EY. Following this I co-developed the activities of Edmond de Rothschild in Marseille for five years. Over the years, I have supported small and medium-sized companies that have sometimes become large corporations. The diversity of the transactions I have advised on makes me a generalist, or rather a multi-specialist across various sectors including business services, healthcare, industrials, specialised distribution, and TMT. More recently, I advised on the various build-up operations as well as the primary and secondary LBOs of the Cogepart Group, the French leader in last mile delivery. I also advised Hôpital Privée La Casamance on the merger with the Almaviva group and the entry of FrenchFood Capital into Markal, a major player in the organic food sector. Today, Clearwater International is ideally positioned to accompany clients through the increasingly rapid changes in the market, remaining adaptable and utilising our sector specialists in both our French and international teams to meet client goals.

I have worked in mergers and acquisitions since I qualified as an accountant. I was a founding employee of Clearwater in 2003, after I had spent time in both transaction due diligence and advising businesses on floating on the UK stock market. Since we formed Clearwater, I have focussed on advising businesses on selling to international trade buyers or private equity funds, especially within the consumer sector. In 2022, I joined the UK board and took responsibility for all aspects of the operations of the UK business.
