Corporate finance advisory firm Shaw & Co has continued its expansion with three new employees to its Bristol head office.
The new starters join the firm, which helps SME owners across the UK buy, sell, or fund the growth of a business, during a period of outstanding growth. 
Last year it surpassed a major milestone – the completion of more than £500m worth of business transactions since its launch in 2011.
The new employees are senior manager Matt Green and executives Cameron Mather and Sam Miles.
Matt, pictured below, centre, joins from investment bank and financial services company Lincoln International, where he led capital raise transactions for private equity firms and founder-owned businesses in leveraged acquisitions and refinancings across multiple sectors in deals ranging in value from £5m-£300m.
Prior to this, he spent nearly three years at accountants Grant Thornton specialising in creating integrated three-statement financial models for mergers and acquisitions, forecasting and valuations.
He also spent more than three years in the assurance/risk assurance department of accountancy giant PwC, working with a range of FTSE 100 companies.
Cameron, pictured below, right, joins from accountancy firm Saffery, where he developed a range of analytical skills including the valuing of unlisted investments. He also worked across a multitude of different industries, from investment funds to B2B and B2C companies, and with a large focus on SMEs. 
Sam, pictured, left, was previously a commercial finance manager with BT, a role in which he provided financial, commercial and strategic analysis and advice on commercial propositions and complex bids.
Prior to this, he worked at accounts BDO as a business assurance assistant manager, gaining diverse industry experience while serving listed and SME clients across the financial services, professional services, retail, logistics, manufacturing and charity sectors.
Their arrival comes after Shaw & Co appointed Constantine Biller as a partner earlier this year to spearhead its expansion across the North West.
Shaw & Co has been involved in a range of deals over recent years, including some of the most significant in the South West.
These include the sales of ethical tea firm Pukka Herbs to consumer giant Unilever and Bristol-based discount codes firm VoucherCloud to Groupon. 
More recently, the team has overseen the sale of Midlands-based Vigo Software, which builds and implements software for the logistics, haulage, warehouse and pallet network sectors, to Kent-headquartered global business management software provider Kerridge Commercial Systems (KCS), along with the £9m sale of Wiltshire-based accounting software business Data Interconnect to global digital finance transformation leader BlackLine and digital working papers provider MyWorkpapers to Bright Software, a leading tax, accounting, finance and payroll software company.
Shaw & Co founder and CEO Jim Shaw, pictured, said: “Over the years we have worked extremely hard to demystify the complexity of corporate finance so more business owners and SMEs can achieve their ambitions and realise their company’s maximum value.
“Our unique approach has proved to be highly successful and we’re currently in the midst of an extraordinary period of growth.
“Matt, Cameron and Sam will all have pivotal roles to play in helping us to meet the burgeoning demand for our services across the UK.”
As well as its Bristol HQ, it also has bases in Birmingham, London, Manchester and Glasgow.
