NorthEdge promotes Potts and Marshall to investment manager

Lower-mid-market firm NorthEdge Capital has promoted George Potts (pictured) and James Marshall to investment manager.
Potts is promoted from his role as senior investment executive, having originally joined the firm in October 2011.
To date, he has worked on deals including the management buyout of Utiligroup from a listed corporate and an expansion deal for door manufacturer Solidor. Most recently he worked on the MBO of healthcare-focused mattress, bed and pillow provider Direct Healthcare Services.
Based in the Manchester office, Potts was involved in raising the firm's debut fund, which closed in March 2013 on £225m. He is also responsible for ESG practices at NorthEdge.
Marshall works in the GP's Leeds office and is responsible for deal origination and execution in the Yorkshire and north-east regions. He currently has a seat on the board at NorthEdge's central heating business Help-Link, as well as loft and cavity insulation specialist Miller Pattison.
Prior to joining the firm in December 2014, Marshall spent two years on the corporate finance team at Dow Schofield Watts and four years on the transaction advisory team at EY.
Earlier this year, NorthEdge closed its second fund on its £300m hard-cap after just four months on the road.
