Hi Nigel — 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 Rutland so happy to share.

Nigel — Given you're backing mid-market turnarounds, I figured we probably share some overlap. Though, I'm from Zimbabwe, and did direct SME investments for a European fund. Now I build origination systems for funds like yours and over the past 6 months, we've had 300+ direct conversations with UK business owners. Of all those targets, the two that felt closest to what you're looking for are: • A £25-50m revenue timber manufacturing holding company producing wood-based products for diverse industrial and commercial applications across the United Kingdom. • A £50m+ revenue specialist recruitment agency providing high-volume temporary personnel to the national logistics and industrial sectors from fifty sites. Here's a link to the full anonymised list: sample.searchloop.ai Let me know if you'd like to chat about how these were surfaced. very best, Russ linkedin.com/in/russellt23

Hi Nigel — quick second note in case the first got buried. a bit more detail: I've built proprietary deal-origination infrastructure for 20+ search funds and PE groups. The 322-company list is one output of the pipeline. Another is a research piece I wrote that maps several UK services sub-sectors by opportunity and level of market interest. This is based on proprietary signal that we've received via our engagements. Here's the link: sample.searchloop.ai/research/uk-services (drone inspection, data center electrical maintenance, site prep & tic emerge are some of the featured sectors) Let me know if you'd like to chat through it or the proprietary list. very best, Russ linkedin.com/in/russellt23

Hi Nigel — Another fit from our 322 company list for Rutland: A £25-50m revenue vertically integrated meat processor and wholesaler providing value-added butchery and packing services to the food manufacturing sector. sound interesting?

Nigel — going to assume the timing's off, I'll leave it there. The list and research are there when you want them. Very best, Russell.
