NorthEdge appoints McQuaid and Holmes

McQuaid joins in the role of investment manager from JLA Group, leaving her role as M&A-focused corporate development director after three years with the firm. Prior to joining JLA, she spent 10 years in the corporate finance division of PwC.

She will work in the firm's Leeds office alongside John Rastrick, partner and head of Yorkshire and the north-east at NorthEdge.

Holmes joins the GP as an investment executive, leaving his role as a senior executive in the corporate finance division at PwC. He spent five years at PwC, specialising in private equity transactions across the retail, consumer, business services and financial services sectors.

Holmes will be based in NorthEdge's Manchester office and will report to NorthEdge's head of Manchester, Jon Pickering.

The appointments come a month after the GP opened a new Birmingham office to be led by Rob Freer and Andrew Skinner, formerly of EY and Better Capital respectively.

NorthEdge this year closed its second fund on its £300m hard-cap after just four months on the road – £75m more than was raised for its maiden vehicle.

NorthEdge recently featured in the unquote" In Profile series, which maps the European mid-market via a selection of in-depth, data-driven profiles of the major GPs in that space.
