Contact Countries Search Clearwater International Team Transactions Services Sectors Insights About Us Careers Phil Burns Managing Partner Profile I am a UK Managing Partner and a member of the Board at Clearwater International, having led the creation of the UK business in 2003. We set up Clearwater because we saw the need for quality independent advice, but delivered from a business with scale and a focus on excellent client outcomes. My career has spanned restructuring, banking, and corporate finance – I qualified as a Chartered Accountant at Binder Hamlyn, worked at NatWest and was a partner at BDO prior to founding Clearwater International UK. I have been advising clients for over 20 years now and so have stopped my tally of deal numbers, although I will have worked on more than 100 MBOs alone. Some key deals include advising the management of Partner in Pet Food on each of its three MBOs; advising Westleigh Partnerships on its €155m sale to Countryside Properties plc; advising on the sale of Vernacare to Palatine Private Equity; and advising Prism Medical on the sale of its UK subsidiary. +44 845 052 0362 +44 845 052 0360 Email Phil Contact Assistant LinkedIn V Card < > Featured transactions €320m (£274m) Initial Public Offering on the London Stock Exchange IPO €320m Clearwater Advisers Phil Burns Michael Loudon Chris Smith Glenn Clarke Lachlan Dorrity James Malcharek Dom Moir Richard Corrie Ben Crowe Courtney Walker Adviser to Stelrad Group PLC on its €320m on its IPO on the London Stock Exchange View more acquired Buy-side Undisclosed Clearwater Advisers Phil Burns Michael Loudon James Croxen Andrew Royle Adviser to Etex on its acquisition of Sigmat View more invested in Buy-side Undisclosed Clearwater Advisers Phil Burns Richard Goldsack Ramesh Jassal James Croxen John Haygarth Adviser to Palatine Private Equity on its investment in Routes Healthcare View more sold to Sell-side Undisclosed Clearwater Advisers Phil Burns Carl Houghton Richard Ellis Finn O'Driscoll Kirsty Handley Carly Sinicrope Adviser to BGF and the shareholders of ReBOUND on its sale to Reconomy Group View more See all Phil's transactions Clearwater International LinkedIn Twitter YouTube Team Transactions Services Sectors Insights About Us Careers Cookie policy Accessibility Terms & Conditions Privacy Statement Copyright © 2021 Clearwater International.
