Business broker names new regional partner for Essex

Finance professional Iain McCoo to assist buyers and sellers in Romford and Southend as Business Partnership franchisee

National business broker Business Partnership has appointed Iain McCoo as its new regional partner for Essex.

A board level finance professional, he has 30 years’ experience with global investment banks Lehman Brothers, Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley, as well as pension and wealth planning know-how.

Iain spent his formative years in South Africa and has built and restructured businesses in the UK, Brazil and India.   
 
His new role as a franchisee will see him assisting business buyers and sellers in Romford and Southend.

Belfast-born Iain says: “After many years spent travelling with my job, I decided to step off the corporate treadmill and look for a new business to apply my skills to.

“Business Partnership are a natural fit as they share my values of trust, honesty, openness and transparency.

“I’m delighted to be joining the team and using my global experience and local knowledge to help clients achieve their goals. 

“Having been involved in acquisitions and disposals, not all of which ran smoothly, I understand the potential pitfalls and what is required on all sides to overcome any obstacles.

“Communication and keeping a cool head are vital.”

Business Partnership has 20 regional partners in the UK.

Last year the combined sale value for clients was more than £13.5 million.
