About

Mr. Robinson was born in Wythenshawe, before going to Huddersfield University to study History, although business and financial services have always been a strong interest of his despite his non-direct vocational degree.

He applies his excellent communication, critical analysis, financial modelling and negotiation skills each day to deliver high quality interested parties and well-negotiated offers for his clients.

Ultimately, James savours the feeling that comes with a completed deal and a happy client. He pours great effort into every campaign to ensure each client feels satisfied and knows they are in very safe hands with the sale of their company.

charity 

Personally, James has raised money numerous times for charity through various physical challenges including: a 10k run at Heaton Park for Cancer Research UK, the Greater Manchester run for The Christie, the National Three Peaks Challenge for The Christie, the Great North Run for Cancer Research UK, and the Tour de Manc for Hematology & Transplant Support, Forever Manchester and The Booth Centre. 

SUCCESS

James has enjoyed many successes during his career, completing over 70 transactions including the acquisition of Thompson Contracts (UK)  to Sigma Group (backed by Three Hills Capital Partners), one of Benchmark International UK’s biggest deals. Other signature transactions include the sale of Knowles Fleet, Benchmark’s first sale to an employee ownership trust. This has led to James being recognised with awards in the industry, including Young Accountant of the Year at the Young Professionals Awards. 

ijverig

ambitieus

Ik werd naar een succesvol einde geleid met een expert van wereldklasse, James Robinson van Benchmark. Mijn frustratie over de due diligence waar hij de verantwoordelijkheid voor nam, zijn aandacht voor detail was onberispelijk en mijn ervaring was zeker uitzonderlijk. Dit was mijn eerste verkoop en "mijn baby" werd comfortabel in zorgzame handen afgeleverd. James leidde de koper, mijn juridische team, de accountants, mijn team en mijzelf met zorg en zekerheid, waardoor ik de complexiteit van de deal kon begrijpen, waardoor ik tijdens het traject betere beslissingen kon nemen. *

James was kalm en zelfverzekerd in het geven van begeleiding en soms stopte hij mijn enthousiasme voor het vragen naar onhaalbare cijfers! De mondelinge communicatie was erg goed en blij met de coaching die we een aantal keren vooral van James kregen. Zijn ervaring met andere deals heeft ons geholpen onze beste handelwijze te bepalen. *

Ik wil graag van deze gelegenheid gebruik maken om onze dank uit te spreken voor uw harde werk en professionaliteit bij het voltooien van de verkoop van HSS. We waren onder de indruk van alle aspecten van de manier waarop James Robinson het project beheerde. De communicatie was uitstekend en James hield ons gedurende het hele proces op de hoogte. *
