Tom spends his time meeting and investing into fast growing, early stage private companies, and then working with the founders to help grow their businesses and achieve their ambitions.

I love the process of getting to know entrepreneurs, seeing their passion and drive for their products – and having the opportunity to be part of their growth journey.

After graduating with a degree in Biology, he joined KPMG, working across a number of departments with a focus on private equity transactions and completing his Chartered Accountancy qualification. He then moved to Livingbridge VC in 2015, who were then acquired by Gresham House in 2018.

When not in the office, Tom spends his time with his young family and, when time allows, sailing or skiing.

Benjamin joined Gresham House as an Associate Director in August 2022.

He focuses on originating, appraising, structuring and executing new transactions as well as working alongside founders and Management teams post-investment.

The best part of my role is learning about new businesses, understanding what makes them tick and thinking about how GHV can help them on their journey.

Prior to Gresham House, he was Head of Portfolio at Bootstrap Europe, a pan-European growth capital fund focused on making and managing investments in early-stage technology companies.

Benjamin started his career within EY’s Private Equity Transaction Advisory team, including a secondment to support Mayfair Equity Partners.

He holds a first-class degree in Accounting and Finance and is a Chartered Accountant (ICAS).

Outside of work, Benjamin is an avid motorcyclist, taking annual road trips to France, and is a detective novel fanatic. He also loves exploring new countries, with recent trips including Sri Lanka, Colombia and the Philippines.
