Door-Stop International sold to Masonite International Corporation

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.

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.

Laurent Camilli

As a founding Partner of Clearwater France, I lead the international real estate team and the healthcare sector in France. Since the inception of the company I have completed over 80 transactions with clients who return to us time and time again, and not only rely on Clearwater for sound M&A advice, but trust us to take care of all their corporate issues. In line with the values of Clearwater, I’m very considerate of the needs of my clients, their targets and their environment in order to find solutions which exceed their expectations. I started my career at Vivendi (formerly Generale des Eaux) before setting up an advisory company (Auxiliaire de Finance) where I advised anglo-saxon funds in acquisitions of non-performing loan portfolios. I went on to join Close Brothers and developed the company as a MD and CEO. In 10 years, Close Brothers became a major player in the mid-market M&A segment with strong exposure in leisure, healthcare and real estate.
