Hotbed has appointed Tim Lawrence and Russell Pope as private equity investment directors to spearhead its activities in London and the South East.

Lawrence has 15 years' experience in the private equity arena, having been an investment director with Bridges Community Ventures and ABN AMRO, where he invested in both quoted and unquoted businesses across a variety of sectors.

Pope is an experienced corporate financier who joined Hotbed from corporate broker KBC Peel Hunt where he was responsible for its unquoted client base, led the pre-IPO practice and managed the company's portfolio of private company investments.

Both new recruits will be based at Hotbed's new central London office in Albemarle Street W1. Working closely with Hotbed's existing specialist private equity team based at its headquarters in Milton Keynes, the pair are responsible for sourcing investment opportunities in the South East area and forging links with potential syndication partners.
