Richard Goldsack

I’ve spent 25 years advising entrepreneurs and private equity clients and am passionate about supporting growing businesses to build and realise value. I opened the Leeds office for Clearwater in 2020, and before that had been a Partner at EY and Grant Thornton, in Australia and the UK. In my spare time, I love spending time with my family, walking my dog Murphy in the Moors, playing football or golf and supporting Liverpool football club.

Chris Smith

I have been advising companies on raising debt finance for over 25 years. The first half of my career was spent as a lender in a bank and then I joined Clearwater as a Partner in 2009 to set up the debt advisory team. I spend my time working with both private equity-backed and owner-managed businesses across all sectors, with a key focus on the mid-market in the UK.

Marcus Archer

I have been a partner of Clearwater since 2008, and during that time have built a business services sector team, developed our sponsor coverage programme, substantially grown our London team and sat on the UK Board (as well as advising many clients on successful fundraises, exits or acquisitions!). I am still a keen tennis player, rapidly learning how to play padel, an average golfer and love any time I can spend scuba diving or on the ski slopes.

Christopher Jones

I have spent the last 20 years of my career as a mid-market M&A adviser focused on the consumer sector. I started my career at EY, following which I spent nearly two decades at Arrowpoint/Rothschild, GCA Altium, and Houlihan Lokey. I lead Clearwater’s London team, and also the Consumer sector team across the UK and Europe. Within consumer, my focus is on travel and leisure as well as digital consumer and e-commerce.
