We are delighted to announce that UK-based corporate finance firm MXC Capital is to become the first official partner for the TechMarketView Little British Battler (LBB) programme.
MXC Capital is a specialist investment and advisory group that provides investment, corporate finance advice, strategic consultancy services and structured finance solutions to companies in the technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) sector. MXC was established in 2009 by entrepreneurs Ian Smith and Tony Weaver. The MXC team typically maintains an operational interest in the companies in which they invest, including AIM -listed managed infrastructure provider Redstone, AIM -listed managed services provider Redcentric and AIM-listed IT security services supplier Accumuli.
Over the last ten years Ian Smith and Tony Weaver have delivered more than 50 corporate transactions with a value in excess of £330m. The strategic vision for MXC is to become recognised as London’s leading technology merchant bank.
MXC Capital is chaired by Martin Bolland, a founding partner at private equity firm Alchemy Partners. Bolland currently serves as non-executive chairman at UK business process services leader Capita, as well as at Parkdean Holidays and RecyCoal Holdings.
Tony Weaver, MXC founding partner says “We are delighted to be supporting this programme. We know only too well the difficulties with starting and building technology businesses and we are proud to be investing back into our market”.
TechMarketView established the LBB programme in 2011 with the aim of giving a leg-up in the market to small, privately held UK-owned software and IT services companies that are 'punching above their weight'. Since then, well over 200 companies have applied and 24 have since been through the LBB 'process' (see Proud of our Little British Battlers! and other posts in the News section of our website).
Future Little British Battler sessions will be run in association with MXC Capital, giving LBB companies the option to take advantage of the experience and services of the MXC Capital team.
We will be announcing details for the next Little British Battler Day in coming weeks. But if you think you might want to participate, by all means drop a line to info@techmarketview.com to record your interest.
