Investment boost for North East businesses with new wealth management partnership

A wealth management firm is set to bring its knowledge to the North East through a new partnership with a local investment specialist.

WH Ireland has announced the formation of a new partnership with Jonathan Gold to expand its private company offering in the region.

WH Ireland raises capital for private companies through a range of sources, including pre-IPO funding, EIS/VCT funds, private equity, or via their network of high-net-worth investors on the WH Ireland Investor Forum.

Jonathan, who relocated to the region 18 years ago, is a specialist in seed and growth investment with a background in technology, development and licencing.

Jonathan commented: “I have known WH Ireland for several years and have been impressed with their team and connections to investors.

“I’m really pleased to be working with them to source investment for growth businesses across the North East, Tees Valley and wider North.

“Their commitment to the region reflects a growing interest in the success of vibrant engineering and software companies that are a feature of the landscape here.”

Adam Pollock, head of corporate & institutional broking at WH Ireland, commented: “The current investment climate sees continuing investor demand for growth businesses across the UK.

“We are delighted to extend our reach particularly into the Tees Valley and more generally the North East following our new arrangement with Jonathan Gold in his capacity as a Consultant to WH Ireland.

“We will be looking for both debt and equity raising roles in the region and also offering our M&A and general financial advisory to capabilities to businesses in the region.”
