Clearwater advises COLUSSI GROUP on its acquisition of LA SUISSA from Alto Partners

Gareth Iley

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.

I have been a specialist in the M&A consumer and leisure sector for 20 years and I am a Partner at Clearwater. I cut my teeth at UBS Investment Bank, as part of the team advising on large and often £1bn or above transactions across Europe. I then moved to the mid-market and have spent the last 15 years working with some of the most exciting brands in the sector, including Fever-Tree, LEON Restaurants, Fox International, LeMieux, and Goals Soccer Centres. I’ve advised on sales, acquisitions, and take-private transactions in the sector.
