Mid-market investor Equistone has promoted Andi Tomkinson to partner in its Manchester office, has appointed Philipp GauУ as associate in Munich and has promoted six more across its offices in France, Germany, Switzerland and the UK.

As partner, Tomkinson will conduct investments and portfolio management duties in the North of England. Tomkins currently sits on the boards of several Equistone portfolio companies, including polymer designer and manufacturer Nylacast, mobile telecoms services provider WHP Telecoms, and static holiday homes manufacturer Willerby.

Tomkinson joined Equistone as an investment director in 2012 and assisted in the formation and development of Concept Life Sciences as well as in the exits of AFI-Uplift and PD&MS. He joined from PwC where he qualified as a chartered accountant and worked in the corporate finance department.
