Johan Boork, Jan Kux, Guntram Kieferle, and Constance d'Avout

Well, well ... / Who are these guys and girl?! ... You're probably wondering, dear reader(s). 'They sound foreign, boss.' Excuse me, Voice! None of that talk here! Thank you. 'I ain't a conservative! I was just saying, thinking.' Keep your thoughts to yourself, idiot!

Johan Boork has joined Silverfleet in London as an Associate and will also work closely with Karl Eidem (Co-head of the Nordic region) based in Stockholm. Jan Kux and Guntram Kieferle both join Silverfleet's Munich office as an Associate and Analyst, respectively and Constance d'Avout joins the firm as an Associate in Paris.

 
Yes, it's the Monday morning PR email, back by popular demand. / Let's get it done!

Silverfleet Capital builds its team in London, Munich and Paris

Silverfleet Capital ("Silverfleet"), the European private equity firm, is pleased to announce four new hires to its investment team who will be based across the firm's offices in London ("Peckham"), Munich and Paris.

Jan Kux and Guntram Kieferle both join Silverfleet's Munich office as an Associate and Analyst, respectively and Constance d'Avout joins the firm as an Associate in Paris.


Er ... is there an echo in here? 'You've repeated that last paragraph, boss.' Well, there's no harm in it, Voice. I'll be repeating a lot more later. 'No. 514?' You bet your ass No. 514! / So, who are they?

Johan Boork, a Swedish national, previously worked within the Nordics coverage team of UBS Investment Bank in London. Johan graduated from the Stockholm School of Economics with an MSc in Finance and holds a BSc in Industrial Engineering and Management from the Chalmers University of Technology and a BSc in Financial Economics from the University of Gothenburg.

Constance d'Avout was previously at EQT Partners in London where she worked in the credit funds team. Constance is a graduate of EM Lyon in France with a Masters degree in Management.

Very nice. 'Great, boss! They sound like great guys, and a girl!' Yes, but what does Neil MacDougall think about all this? And how does he feel? Is he happy or maybe ... pleased? 'Maybe he's disgusted.' Well, we just don't know, man. 'Ha! Yes we do! Look! -'

Neil MacDougall, Managing Partner of Silverfleet Capital commented: "We are very pleased to welcome Constance, Guntram, Jan and Johan into our team at Silverfleet Capital. Their appointment reflects our continued commitment to develop strong investment teams in each of the regions in which we invest. So far we have made four investments out of the €870 million fund we closed in mid-2015 and with an expanded team we expect to add to that portfolio soon." 

Nice one, Neil! I'm glad you're pleased, son.

...

Right. Anything else?

Politics? The Conservatives plan to confiscate the wealth of every single normal person in the country. 'What?! Are you sure about this, boss?' Man, rich people can afford to pay for care without selling their homes, you dig? But if you're not rich, you will lose EVERYTHING. 'Oh.' Your children will get NOTHING. [Actually, they'll get £100,000 - which will presumably be stolen in some other evil manner.] 'Christ!' Worth thinking about, ain't it?

Oh, are the companies that provide care going to put their prices up now? I mean, they can charge what they want if everyone's house is up for grabs.

However ... I hate politics. That's the last of it. No more!

Music? Ah, I'm not writing about music no more neither. 'Oh, do you hate music, too?' No. I just don't want to talk about it. 'What's wrong, Mikey?' I've scrapped that new song. 'Oh dear. Why?' I don't like it. END.

But I'll use that melody again ...
