ABGI-UK hires dealmaker from Benchmark International

R&D funding specialist ABGI-UK has announced the appointment of Jordan Beecroft to guide clients in the south of England.

He joins the Edinburgh headquartered company from M&A advisor Benchmark International as a innovation funding specialist.

Beecroft, from Sydney, started his career as a retail property specialist with Christie & Co in London and worked for Colliers International and Lambert Smith Hampton before joining Benchmark in January 2014.

The Macquarie University graduate has 15 years' experience developing exit and growth strategies for international companies including Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai Motors, Shell UK, BP, Goodyear Dunlop and J Sainsbury PLC.

ABGI-UK was founded as Jumpstart but rebranded last year under French owner Visiativ. It advises companies on how to access innovation funding, tax relief for research and development and patent box projects.

ABGI-UK chief executive Scott Henderson said: “We’re very pleased to welcome Jordan to our growing UK team. His understanding of the corporate market and experience as a high level company adviser across a number of diverse sectors makes him an ideal fit for this role within ABGI.”
