Mark Taylor, Partner at Exponent, said;
"We are excited to back Danny Waters and his team to continue the impressive growth the business has experienced to date, as well as supporting ENRA to develop new product lines. Ashcombe provided high-quality analytical and strategic support for this transaction, and assisted in securing David Stewart, former CEO of the Coventry Building Society, to join the board as Chairman, bringing a wealth of experience in long term secured lending."
Since 2014, Ashcombe has worked on 21 financial services transactions with a combined value of approximately £3.9bn.
