Simon Tomkins, Business Partnership, Regional Partner, Brighton, Chichester & Horsham

26 October 2023

Simon became a Regional Partner with Business partnership in 2021 and brought with him 30 years of direct sales experience to the expanding team of specialist business brokers spanning the UK from Devon to the Scottish Highlands. 

Simon was initially employed by a franchise operator, then he moved to a multinational print hardware supplier and used the experience gained in both small, family-owned and large corporate business to launch his own company in the same sector in 2004.

He first encountered Business Partnership while searching for a new business to buy and was impressed by their commitment to guiding buyers and sellers through the process and providing all the information both parties require.

“When the opportunity arose to join Business Partnership as a broker, I had evaluated many businesses from the perspective of a potential buyer, and I knew what I valued and what I didn’t. I also know my experience and credibility in running a successful business would bring other skills to my role as a broker, allowing me to manage sales professionally, meeting both the business sellers and buyers’ expectations” 

One of the largest independent companies in the sector, Business Partnership has 13 regional offices offering a comprehensive brokerage service to business buyers and sellers. Last year the combined sale value for clients nationally was more than £13.5 million.
