Granville Baird Capital Partners has added two executives to its UK team with the appointment of Simon Havers as a director and James Benfield as an investment manager.

Havers, a chartered management accountant, returns to the private equity company having spent the past four years at ABN Amro Capital. Previously a member of Granville Baird Capital Partners' investment team between 1994 and 1998, Havers' reunion with former colleagues sees him leading investments in the business services and technology sectors.
