About

Mr. Forshaw spent the majority of his childhood in the suburb of Altrincham, South Manchester. He attended a catholic grammar school before going on to study Business Management at one of the UK’s most prestigious Universities, Sheffield, where he obtained an upper second-class honours. Roger is a Senior Director and Team Leader for the Manchester Transactions Team and it’s his responsibility to ensure we sell our clients’ companies at the most advantageous price and terms possible, plus make their journey as pain free as possible. He is motivated by providing the best possible service and prides himself on getting results.

experience 

It was while he was studying at Sheffield University that Roger found his passion for corporate finance and international business. He wanted to be part of a company that would develop him as a person and his experience in mergers and acquisitions. Having turned down numerous jobs in his journey to find the perfect job, he applied for Benchmark International’s highly competitive graduate programme. After being interviewed by several shareholders, it became quickly apparent that it was perfectly suited to his values and would be the ideal environment to enable him to flourish. His participation in the graduate scheme saw him fulfill roles across many areas of the company, including Deal Origination and Deal Preparation where he established a rounded understanding of the M&A industry.

Passion

Selling a company is usually one of the most important events our clients will ever go through, so therefore has to be for us, as well. Our clients trust us to get the best possible results and we must be meticulous and relentless in our efforts to make this happen. Roger is passionate about understanding clients’ objectives and being relentless in his pursuit of achieving these shared goals.

charity

Roger volunteers twice a month at Mustard Tree, a charity supporting people across Greater Manchester in poverty and facing homelessness. He also completes one activity a year to raise money for Cancer UK, including the National Three Peaks Challenge, running the Manchester Marathon, and cycling the Tour de Yorkshire.

positief

Opregte dank aan die toegewyde span, veral Roger en James by Benchmark, wat oor 'n lang tydperk onvermoeid gewerk het om onbeperkte ondersteuning en advies te bied in die suksesvolle verkoop van ons besigheid. Hulle kundigheid en volharding het 'n goeie uitkoms vir ons as eienaars en ons besigheid verseker. *

Ons het 'n paar baie spesifieke behoeftes gehad in terme van uittreeplanne wat Roger verstaan het. Ons sou nie na aftrede uitgesien het as dit nie vir hom was nie. *

Roger, ek twyfel of ons vlugte enige plek in Januarie sou bespreek sonder jou gewaardeerde hulp. Ek kan nie genoeg dankie sê nie. *
