 UK mid-market private equity firm RJD Partners has appointed James Smallridge as investment manager and Jill Williams as investment executive.
Smallridge joins RJD from KPMG where he spent eight years transacting deals in the consumer and waste management sectors.
Williams previously was at PwC Corporate Finance. At PwC Corporate Finance she completed deals as a buy-side adviser to private equity, across industry sectors including leisure and specialist distribution.
RJD chief executive David MacLellan said, 'The recruitment of James and Jill follows the successful final close of our second private equity fund in July 2007 and increases the investment team at RJD Partners to eight. We are seeing strong deal flow in each of our core sectors of business and financial services, IT services and leisure and the arrival of James and Jill will enable us to build on our reputation in these areas.'
RJD Private Equity Fund II closed on £180m, exceeding its £150m target. Fund II makes buy-out and growth investments in the broadly defined service and leisure sectors with a focus on companies with enterprise values of up to £75m.
Fund II has invested in Senturion, a support services company, and an investment in Teaching Personnel, a provider of temporary teachers, teaching assistants, nursery nurses and instructors to schools throughout England and Wales.
RJD raised its first fund in April 2003. The fund has made a total of eight investments, including merchant services operator Cardsave, live music venue operator Academy Music Group, and waterway boating holiday operator European Boating Holidays. It announced the buyout of its own business from Royal London Mutual Insurance Society in October 2006.
