AN ABERDEEN investment firm has appointed legal counsel as it eyes up new opportunities in renewable energy.
Mansefield Investments has recruited David Rennie, former managing partner of law firm, Stronachs as it explores opportunities in the green energy sector.
In addition to investing in low carbon energy ventures, Mansefield Investments will provide consultancy, support and services to help distressed businesses in the North-east of Scotland from its recently established office in the granite city’s west end.
Serial entrepreneur Mark Patterson is now focused on the family investment firm so that he can work more closely with his family.
Mr Patterson said: “We set up Mansefield Investments as a family firm to provide a vehicle to enable myself and my family – to work together, to branch out and explore new opportunities.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience in the last nine months and we are now working on a very exciting project. It’s great for me to share some of the things I have learnt, good and bad, and help them in their future career paths.
His brother Philip Patterson has also joined the Mansefield Investments’ team to focus on renewable and electrification projects.
Harry Patterson added: “We have promoted internally, to create a strong management team to continue the growth of CARS Recovery while Philip and I concentrate on the investments we are presently considering with Mansefield.”
Commenting on joining Mansefield Investments, Mr Rennie, said: “Having worked with the Patterson family for a number of years, I’m delighted to be joining them and excited about the opportunities we are currently exploring, particularly in relation to solutions for tackling climate change and achieving net-zero.”
