Our IT Services Team

Simon Lloydbottom

Partner
I'm an M&A advisor with a passion for IT services and managed service provider transactions. With a foundation built at leading advisory firms, I've executed multiple deals in the MSP and technology sectors. My experience spans both strategic sales and private equity.
I maintain a deep understanding of market dynamics by tracking industry consolidation and buyer appetites, enabling us to pair sellers with the perfect match buyer.
Richard Callis

Operating Partner

As an entrepreneur turned M&A advisor, I bring first hand experience in building, scaling, and successfully exiting IT service businesses. Having co-founded and grown a thriving MSP, I led multiple acquisitions before executing a strategic exit.
In senior MSP roles, I played a key part in several acquisitions—on both the buy and sell side—gaining deep operational and strategic insight. This experience gives me a unique perspective on IT transactions, enabling me to guide fellow IT service owners through growth, acquisition, and exit strategies with confidence and clarity.
Manuel Heinke

Associate Director
I joined Alinea bringing valuable experience from a global provider of workforce strategy and German banking and finance. My strengths in operations, process optimisation, and cross-border team management now drive our focused execution of IT service sector transactions.
I help oversee the delivery of our deals, ensuring seamless coordination between the various parties throughout each transaction.
