Justin joins EMC to run new West Sussex office
Interim management, corporate finance and business troubleshooting firm EMC has expanded its operations to West Sussex and Hampshire.
Justin Caffrey, an entrepreneur with more than 15 years experience in the financial services market, has joined the company to head a new office in Chichester. The firm is also located in Eastbourne, Crawley and Maidstone.
Justin has held a number of senior management roles in banking and its intermediary markets and, between 2002 and 2008, was MD of a financial services business that he took from being a small, single entity with eight staff into a group of five companies with 110 employees, diversified business interests and several profit centres, including some in Europe. Annual profits over the period grew from negligible to £2.5m.
He had intended to take a year’s sabbatical after selling various business interests last year. But he soon found he missed the buzz of daily business life and is delighted to be able to link up with EMC to offer hands-on support and guidance to SMEs in West Sussex and Hampshire.
Justin said: “EMC has built a terrific reputation over the last 20 years as one of the South East’s leading independent firms of corporate advisers. All of its people have tremendous in-depth, practical knowledge of what it takes to build and run successful businesses, and they have helped to create a number of millionaires by preparing businesses for sale and then seeing the process through to completion.
“Equally important, they have also been able to help a number of businesses to trade their way out of sticky situations. I’m looking forward to adding my skills set to the impressive range they already have.”
EMC founder and chief executive Nik Askaroff added: “We have been looking to step up our activity in West Sussex and Hampshire and Justin’s arrival enables us to do that.
“He brings with him a tremendous depth and breadth of experience which he’ll be able to use to benefit business owners and directors who might otherwise not be able to access such knowledge.”
Justin is married with one son and lives in Chichester. When not working, his great passion is horseracing, and he has owned some very successful winners over the years, enjoying great success at both the Royal Ascot and Galway festivals.
