Hi Gareth, I build proprietary origination systems for UK funds. I have a short case study showing one system that surfaced 322 UK companies open to sale. Thought it might be relevant for Clyde Blowers.

Gareth - here's the case study I mentioned: sample.searchloop.ai Quick clarification: I'm not trying to broker those companies. The case study is an example of the origination system: map a thesis, build the owner universe, then generate direct owner conversations before there's a process. For Clyde Blowers, I'd start around engineering / industrials and manufacturing. Worth 15 mins so I can show you how it works?

Hi Gareth — 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 Clyde Blowers: A £10-25m manufacturer of bespoke heavy-duty industrial handling systems and components for the energy, infrastructure and waste management sectors. 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.

Email 2 — Follow-up

Hi Gareth — 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 Clyde Blowers. Worth 15 mins to map what an origination loop could look like for Clyde Blowers? 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.

Email 3 — Follow-up

Hi Gareth — 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 Clyde Blowers: A £25-50m provider of heavy equipment rental and industrial contracting services for the infrastructure and natural resources sectors. Worth 15 mins to map what an origination loop could look like?

Email 4 — Breakup

Gareth — I'll leave it there. Link's here if useful later: https://sample.searchloop.ai/ — 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.
