About Colin Ferguson

Colin Ferguson is a Director in our corporate finance team in Southampton. He has over ten years of transaction services experience, working on buy-side and sell-side financial due diligence engagements with a focus on UK mid-market transactions, typically valued between £5m and £150m.

Colin started his career as an auditor within a Big Four accountancy practice, where he qualified as a chartered accountant.

Since moving into transaction services in 2014, Colin has worked with a wide range of private equity and corporate clients across various sectors – with a focus on the technology and business services sectors.

Asked why he is passionate about his job, Colin says:

'I am passionate about providing clients with a quality service, whether that is through clear analysis to underpin key selling messages on a sell-side transaction or developing a deep understanding of a target business’s risks and opportunities on a buy-side deal.'

Outside of work, Colin spends much of his time looking after his two pre-school children or walking his two dogs in the New Forest.
