Expanding national business brokers Business Partnership have appointed a new regional partner in Lancashire.
Self-starter Gary Jones brings more than 30 years’ know-how from the credit, utilities and government sectors to his role assisting business buyers and sellers in Blackburn, Fylde, Lancaster and Preston.
Mr Jones’ vast experience spans start-ups to large corporates. Before joining Business Partnership, he was responsible for 1,200 staff and revenues of more than £30 million in the utilities and finance sectors.
Based in the Ribble Valley, Mr Jones has also been involved in turnarounds, mergers and acquisitions and has sold three businesses to multi-nationals.
“I’ve sat on both sides of the table during a business sale and can fully appreciate all the potential pitfalls and how stressful it can be,” he said.
“The pandemic has made many people want to seize the moment and make a lifestyle change. I’m looking forward to helping people achieve their long-term aims and maximise their earning potential, whether they’re selling so they can retire and enjoy a gentler pace of life or buying a business that is completely different to their current line of work or located in another part of the country.”
One of the largest independent companies in the sector, Business Partnership have more than 20 regional partners across the UK offering a comprehensive brokerage service to business buyers and sellers. The combined sale value for clients nationally in 2020 was more than £13.5 million.
