FRP Corporate Finance bolsters private equity coverage with senior appointment  

Jessica Ring joins FRP Corporate Finance as Director  

We’re pleased to announce the appointment of Director Jessica Ring as we look to deepen our advisory relationships with private equity investors and expand our footprint in the lower mid-market.

Jessica brings more than a decade of investment experience. She joins from MML Capital Partners, where she was responsible for sourcing and evaluating new platform investments and managing portfolio assets in her role as an Investment Director. Prior to this, she was an Investment Director at private equity firm, Dunedin and a strategy consultant at Accenture; across both roles, she specialised in the financial services, business services, and industrials sectors.

In her new role, Jessica will lead our national private equity efforts and build on the firm’s strong momentum. In 2024, we advised on more than 50 private equity deals with a combined enterprise value of over £1.3bn.

Jessica will be based in our London office and work closely with all the teams across FRP’s UK-wide network of offices to strengthen private equity investor relationships, source new opportunities and support sponsor-led activity.

Acting as a central point of contact for the private equity investor community, she will collaborate with financial sponsors to help unlock value across their portfolios. She will also provide tailored, relationship-driven advice to entrepreneurial and founder-led businesses, particularly in the lower mid-market.

Jessica Ring, Director at FRP Corporate Finance, said: “It’s an exciting time to be joining FRP Corporate Finance, with the business at a pivotal stage in its growth journey. There’s a real opportunity to build on the firm’s growing presence in the private equity industry and provide meaningful support to both investors and businesses alike.

“Private equity activity remains resilient and, with competition for deals high, having the right insight and relationships is more important than ever. I’m looking forward to working with the wider team to engage the investor community across the UK and support them in delivering their investment strategies.”

Jeremy French, Chief Operating Officer at FRP, added: “Jessica’s appointment reflects our ambition to further strengthen our relationships with the private equity community and expand our reach across the lower mid-market.

“Her experience and network will be instrumental as we scale our capabilities and continue building momentum in the space. Our national presence, combined with deep regional knowledge, gives us a unique advantage – and Jessica is a perfect fit to help us unlock that potential.”
