After qualifying as a chartered accountant, Colclough spent three years with PwC's corporate finance team. He joined 3i in 1999, where he worked for 13 years in the firm's Manchester office.
Newly-promoted Jacovou joined Elysian in 2008 from Smith & Williamson, where he worked in the M&A advisory team. McCoy joined Elysian in 2011 from Deloitte in Dublin, where she worked in the corporate finance department.
