Who we are
Fernwood Corporate Finance is led by Jonathan Partridge, a Chartered Accountant with extensive experience advising on corporate finance matters cumulatively worth over £85 million. Jonathan trained at KPMG—one of the “Big Four” global consulting firms—and later served as a Corporate Finance advisor at an award-winning advisory firm in Newcastle upon Tyne.
He has advised clients across a range of sectors including professional services, industrials, technology, healthcare, and manufacturing. In the past 18 months alone, experiences have included:
Advising shareholders on the sale of a healthcare business to a trade buyer backed by an investment firm
Providing transaction support to a UK private equity house acquiring an electronic components manufacturer
Consulting on an independent valuation report for a national property consultancy with over 300 employees
Advising a Human Capital firm, backed by a New York-based private equity investor, on strategic acquisitions
Producing a valuation report to support a multi-million-pound venture capital raise for a high-growth technology business
At Fernwood, we do not sell businesses and we are not brokers. This means our advice is completely independent and free from conflicts of interest. While some firms may offer free valuation reports, these often come with hidden agendas and are rarely prepared by qualified finance professionals. That is not our approach.
We deliver impartial, high-quality corporate finance advice grounded in experience, professionalism, and integrity.
