The funeral has taken place for legendary North West dealmaker Andy Thomas.
Thomas, whose career included spells at Maven Capital Partners and, more recently, YFM Equity Partners, died in May after a long battle with cancer.
He joined YFM in 2017 and, over nine years, became one of the most respected figures in the North West investment community.
A spokesman said: “He led investments in Protein Works, Unbiased, Biorelate, Fuuse and E2E, an enviable track record by any measure.
“He was also instrumental in building the foundations of our North West business into what it is today.
“But beyond the investments, Andy was simply a good person. Generous, thoughtful, and someone who made YFM a better place to work.
“We’re all feeling his loss deeply. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and everyone who was lucky enough to know him.”
