DC's Tilley joins Inflexion as partner
DC Advisory's head of financial sponsors Simon Tilley has moved into the investment space, joining Inflexion Private Equity as a partner amid a raft of appointments.
Tilley will be a partner in the GP's Partnership Capital team, which focuses on minority investments. The Partnership Capital fund closed on £400m in 2014 and deploys between £10-150m per deal.
Tilley joined DC in 2001 and went on to work on a number of transactions involving private equity. These included ICG's sale of CPA Global to Cinven, Duke Street's sale of Oasis to Bridgepoint and Morgan Stanley's sale of Zenith to HgCapital.
Prior to his long stint at DC, Tilley was an associate director at Bank of Scotland.
In addition to the appointment of Tilley, Inflexion also hired Ben Long as an investment director in its Enterprise Fund team. He joins from Duke Street and also held roles at Echelon Capital Partners and Barclays Capital.
Inflexion closed its Inflexion Enterprise Fund IV on £250m in May last year – the vehicle invests equity of between £10-20m for both majority and minority stakes.
Inflexion also announced it has hired James Wigglesworth as an assistant director in its Manchester office, joining from Rothschild's M&A advisory team. Saloshnee Nightingale has also joined Inflexion from Gleacher Shacklock as an investment executive.
In July, Inflexion promoted Andrew Mainwaring and Andrew Priest to partner, among another wider wave of promotions.
