National business brokers Business Partnership’s expansion in 2021 has continued with the arrival of a new regional partner in Essex.

Iain McCoo, a board level finance professional, brings 30 years’ experience with global investment banks Lehman Brothers, Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley and more recently pension and wealth planning sector know-how to his new role supporting business buyers and sellers in Romford and Southend-on-Sea.

Belfast-born Mr McCoo said: “After many years spent travelling with my job, I decided to step off the corporate treadmill and look for a new business to apply my skills to.

“Business Partnership are a natural fit as they share my values of trust, honesty, openness and transparency. I’m delighted to be joining the team and using my global experience and local knowledge to help clients achieve their goals.

“Having been involved in acquisitions and disposals, not all of which ran smoothly, I understand the potential pitfalls and what is required on all sides to overcome any obstacles. Communication and keeping a cool head are vital,” added Mr McCoo, who spent his formative years in South Africa and has built and restructured businesses in the UK, Brazil and India.

One of the largest independent companies in the sector, Business Partnership have 20 regional partners across the UK offering a comprehensive brokerage service to business buyers and sellers. Last year the combined sale value for clients was more than £13.5 million.
