January 2024

Kirk Lovegrove & Company is pleased to announce that Jim Peterkin and Michael Bridden will become Executive Directors on the Board in January.  They join Martin Lovegrove, Niels Kirk and our two independent Directors, Roger Brown of Noble Grossart and Liz Airey.

Jim, who joined earlier this year, has more than 30 years of strong experience in the energy sector within an Investment Banking environment.  For much of his years, Jim has focused on oil & gas, but for the last few years switched that focus to alternative and new energies.  

Michael has more than 40 years of experience in the oil & gas industry, working in exploration as a geologist, then working in Business Development for three oil & gas companies before becoming an adviser in 2000.  He has a strong technical background and has proven mentoring skills.

Kirk Lovegrove & Company was founded in 2018, and today has a strong team of 15 people, all of whom have a stake in the company.   The team has considerable experience spanning the spectrum of skills needed to advise its energy clients in all aspects of corporate strategy and corporate development, all aspects of M&A&D as well as helping clients secure bank finance.  It has served 25 clients covering all of the above disciplines and interests that lie in more than 30 countries.  While the firm’s business remains for the most part in oil & gas advisory, it has started to develop a good and sound franchise in alternative and new energies advisory.
