Lee Williams

Hi Lee — Zimbabwean by background, did M&A banking then growth equity at a European fund. Now running UK SME origination. Built a list of 322 UK companies open to sale — two looked relevant for Nautilus so happy to share.

Hi Lee — similar-ish background. I'm from Zim and was a banker doing M&A at Greenhill, then moved into growth equity in London. Now I build proprietary origination systems for funds like yours across fragmented UK businesses. Over the past 6 months, one of my systems surfaced 300+ off-market conversations with owners across 10 sectors. I've put them together: 322 UK companies open to sale. One that looked relevant for Nautilus Search: A £5-10m family-owned logistics and distribution specialist providing integrated road haulage and warehousing services for a diverse UK commercial client base. Here's the link: https://sample.searchloop.ai/ Worth a quick call? I can walk through how I got this and share some of the actual names. — Russ linkedin.com/in/russellt23 PS: if this isn't relevant, reply no and I'll leave you in peace. might even go for a walk.

Hi Lee — quick second note in case this got buried. The list is here: https://sample.searchloop.ai/ It is anonymised, but it should show the shape of the work: sector, scale, owner motivation, and enough to judge whether the source is useful for Nautilus Search. Worth 15 mins to map what an origination loop could look like for Nautilus Search? Useful whether you're moving on something now or just want a plan in your back pocket for the next 6-12 months. — Russ linkedin.com/in/russellt23 PS: if this isn't relevant, reply no and I'll leave you in peace. might even go for a walk.

Hi Lee — last nudge. The useful bit is not really the list. It is the system behind it: direct owner conversations, matched to buyer theses, across fragmented UK sectors. One more example that mapped to Nautilus Search: A £10-25m family-owned manufacturer and wholesaler of premium creative materials serving international education and specialist retail markets from the UK.
