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.

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.

Nuestro más sincero agradecimiento al dedicado equipo, en especial a Roger y James de Benchmark, quienes trabajaron incansablemente durante un período prolongado para brindar un apoyo y asesoramiento ilimitados en la exitosa venta de nuestra empresa.

Teníamos algunas necesidades muy específicas en cuanto a planes de salida, algo que Roger comprendió. No estaríamos deseando jubilarnos si no fuera por él. *
