Last Thursday saw MML Ireland celebrating at the 24th annual Private Equity Awards run by Real Deals, the longest running and most prestigious industry awards in Europe, held in London. Having been shortlisted for three awards, we were delighted to win two, as judged by an impressive group of industry leaders from the GP and LP communities.

Following the integration of Asenium (ERP transformation projects), Consultime (IT freelance consulting), Freeteam and Intervia (umbrella company services), as well as Freelance Informatique and Groupe Codeur (a platform for IT, writing, and translation projects), the latest acquisition of Mindquest significantly strengthens Freeland’s tech capabilities and creates new synergies in talent sourcing.

We are delighted to welcome Mike as a Partner in MML’s UK Partnership Capital investment team based in London.

Mike started his career with KPMG Corporate Finance, qualifying as an accountant, prior to joining Hawkpoint Corporate Finance (now Canaccord Genuity).

It is with deep sadness that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Rob Knight, last month.

We are absolutely delighted to have been recognised in the following categories:

Parents are also supported by a dedicated signposting and guidance team, who offer advice and links to other services.
