Thomas Hickey

I joined Clearwater’s M&A team in 2018 as a Graduate. Since then, I have been lucky enough to work with many inspiring founders and excellent businesses. Focusing on both company sales to trade acquirers and private equity investments, it’s a privilege to support management teams with such momentous events.

John Haygarth

I’m an Associate Director, based in the Leeds office. I joined Clearwater in 2021 as part of the Business Services sector team and have worked in M&A since 2017, advising clients on a wide range of transactions involving private equity and strategic trade acquirers across both buy-side and sell-side. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, running around after my two young children and walking the dog. I’m also a big sports fan and enjoy watching Liverpool when the time allows.

Would a strategic acquirer ever keep my business and brand separate post-acquisition?

Adviser to Between Investeringsgroep on acquiring a 49% stake in Vitea and MetaPlanning

Michael Loudon

I am a Partner and the Head of Industrials & Chemicals at Clearwater. I began my career in larger cap, complex M&A but was drawn to the mid-market, joining Clearwater in 2016. I particularly enjoy working with and advising owner-managers, entrepreneurs, and management teams in telling their stories to prospective investors and strategic trade acquirers alike. I believe this brings greater responsibility and pressure but equally far more job satisfaction than anywhere else in the market. I am proud of what the Clearwater team have achieved to date and the momentum we have as a business.

Edward Gale

I am a Partner in the Tech team, a role that provides me with the real enjoyment of working alongside some of the most exciting and innovative businesses in the UK. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than supporting a management team in strategising, preparing, and executing a transaction, which is why I joined Clearwater’s market-leading Tech team, having previously spent more than 14 years at the Big 4 and leading on deals across Europe and Asia. Since joining, I have subsequently closed transactions with a number of market-leading private equity houses and international trade acquirers.
