Hi Sean — 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 RCL so happy to share.

Hi Sean, Given you back growth smes, you're likely frustrated with good dealflow. So, I thought I'd extend a small favor and share two names from my proprietary outreach that might be a fit. One is: Ian Craig (Haulage), a £10-25m specialist logistics provider operating a heavy-lift vehicle fleet for the UK building materials and natural resources sectors And another is: a family-owned £10-25m specialist in heavy plant and utility equipment hire serving the national infrastructure and built environment sectors The two names are part of a full 322 long list of targets that are open to sale. Targets derived from conversations with over 500 owners over the past 9 months. Here's a link to the full anonymised list: sample.searchloop.ai At searchloop, I build custom software to generate proprietary conversations with business owners. We've had success with 20+ funds, some with >£500m in AUM some with £10m. Happy to walk you through how it works. Send me a reply and we can schedule a quick 20 min call. very best, Russ linkedin.com/in/russellt23

Hi Sean — quick second note in case the first got buried. a bit more detail: I've built proprietary origination tools for 20+ funds, each covering a differentiated, human-in-the-loop approach. 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 investor 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) Just reply to this email if you'd like to chat through it or the proprietary list. very best, Russ linkedin.com/in/russellt23

Sean, Another fit from our 322 company list for RCL: David Watson Transport, a £10-25m heavy haulage and industrial lifting specialist providing complex transport and integrated warehouse storage for B2B clients sound interesting?

Hi Sean 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.
