We are delighted to announce five promotions which reflect outstanding contributions to Apiary’s continued success.
Thomas Alldred, Jess French and Chris Heawood have all been promoted to Partner and join the senior leadership team with immediate effect. All three joined after the firm’s inaugural £200m fund was raised in 2018 and have made significant contributions to Apiary’s development and success since then.
Thomas leads the firm’s technology services investment strategy and is involved with Apiary’s investments in Connect, Radiant, and Carbon. Jess is responsible for Apiary’s education and healthcare investments and manages the firm’s portfolio companies Access, First Intuition, Positive Support Group and performance.io. Chris is focussed on the business services sector and has played a crucial role in Apiary’s investments in Shaw Gibbs, mediasense, Roar and Thrive.
In addition, Adam Boyle has been promoted to Origination Manager, having made a considerable contribution to Apiary’s research-led direct origination efforts across the UK lower mid-market over the past four years and Jess Rooney, who joined Apiary in 2023, has been promoted to Financial Controller.
Mark Salter, Managing Partner at Apiary Capital commented: “We are thrilled to announce these well-deserved promotions, which recognise the substantial contribution each of them has made to Apiary’s development and success since our founding in 2018, and to welcome Thomas, Jess and Chris to the partnership. I am extremely proud of the team we have built at Apiary and have no doubt that these promotions will further strengthen our business as we look to build on the successes we have achieved to date.”
