Paul Stout

Partner, corporate finance

Headshot of Paul- Stout.

Paul is a partner with more than 20 years’ experience helping dynamic businesses execute their growth strategies and advising clients on mergers and acquisitions, company sales, MBOs and fundraisings, across a number of sectors.

Paul’s clients value him because he is proactive, personable and has great experience of transactions including a couple of years working in industry in a listed company environment, dealing with post-acquisition integration and performance improvement.

Outside of work Paul enjoys spending time with his wife and daughters but does manage to fit in the odd round of golf now that his knees groan at the thought of playing football. He has also started to compete in triathlons which satisfies the competitive spirit in him.
