Gordon Brothers is expanding its presence across the pond.
The retail investment firm has announced the acquisition of SIA Group, an asset valuation, advisory, and trading firm in the U.K. Gordon Brothers says the deal will bolster both firms’ capabilities in the U.K. and Europe, and together they will provide asset-focused solutions to asset-based lenders, banks, financial sponsors, restructuring and turnaround professionals, and corporate and public bodies.
“We are delighted to welcome SIA Group to the Gordon Brothers organization,” said Mark Newton-Jones, head of Europe, the Middle East and Africa at Gordon Brothers. “This significant expansion of the team will not only give our combined businesses a wider geographical footprint, but also deepen asset expertise across many more business sectors to provide market-leading valuation, advisory, lending and trading solutions to both new and existing clients.”
SIA Group was established in 2003. The combined team led by Paul Craig, managing director, and Matt Earl, operations director, of the firm includes over 85 asset specialists operating across the U.K. including London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Glasgow.
“We are excited to join Gordon Brothers and leverage the synergies between two like-minded organisations,” said Craig. “This transformational transaction will allow us to offer a deeper, broader range of asset solutions in addition to the premier valuations and sales we provide to our clients today and enable us to span a broader range of industries, geographies and regulatory systems.”
