Insights into MSP M&A with Nicholas Ashford, and how he values organizations

Nicholas Ashford is a founding partner at Fordhouse, a specialist UK SME buy-and-build fund. He leads the MSP sector investment and is responsible for post-acquisition integration and transformation across the portfolio companies at Fordhouse.

Prior to Fordhouse, Nicholas was an SME owner-manager, leading the business successfully through more than 10 acquisitions and integrations. He cut his teeth as a Strategy Consultant, working across Europe, the Middle-East and Far-East advising multi-billion dollar corporates.

Nicholas has two young children and splits his time between Fordhouse’s offices in Westminster and Hampshire where he lives. An ex-rugby player, you may occasionally find him lurking near a gym pretending he’s “still got it” when time permits.
