Key management appointment

Del Huse joins Oakley Capital Private Equity
Del Huse has joined Oakley Capital Limited ("Oakley Capital"), Investment Adviser to Oakley Capital Private Equity LP, as a Managing Director.  Del will principally focus on new deal origination for the business in the UK and European mid-market.

 
Del joins from Endless LLP, the UK-based private equity house, where he led the London operation from February 2008 to May 2010, specialising in the provision of financial investment and 'turnaround' expertise to businesses facing challenges or finding themselves in special situations.  Prior to Endless, Del was an M&A Partner at Zolfo Cooper for 5 years, having initially trained as a Chartered Accountant at Arthur Andersen.  

Del said,

"The opportunity to join Oakley Capital was compelling.  Working in a private equity group with a reputation for real entrepreneurial leadership and for doing deals that others would simply find too challenging provides real points of difference in a crowded private equity market."

Peter Dubens, added,

"I am delighted that Del is joining the team at Oakley Capital.  The Limited Partnership's focus continues to be on the turnaround of underperforming assets in consolidating or growth industries or within sectors which are subject to structural change, and I believe that Del brings with him valuable experience of these types of deals."
