Septentrion Finance appoints 3 Managing Directors

Following its recent expansion into the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, Septentrion Finance continues to strengthen its growth strategy. The M&A advisory firm, originally based in the Hauts-de-France region, has announced the promotion of Maximilien Clochette, Pierre-Henry Martin, and Cyril Couplet to the position of Managing Director.

Maximilien Clochette joined Septentrion Finance in 2019 after five years at PwC as an Audit Supervisor. Since then, he has contributed to numerous transactions, including the sale of Drawer to But, the sale of Norail-Interges to the Briconord Group, the sale of the Dugardin Group, or the sale of Rollakin to investment funds Trajan, LT Capital, and Bpifrance.

Pierre-Henry Martin joined the firm in 2020 after 11 years in audit at KPMG and Deloitte. He has advised numerous clients on M&A transactions, including the sale of Chocmod to the Cerea Partners fund, the sale of Talentview to the Kelio Group, and the sale of 123 Pare-Brise to Swedish group Carry Group.

Cyril Couplet, a former Transaction Services Manager at EY, joined in 2021 and has since played a key role in a wide range of engagements, including the sale of Boyenval Van Peer to the BME Group, the sale of Colisweb to ID Logistics, the acquisition of Cousin Trestec, and the acquisition of Agral by Briois.

Septentrion Finance now relies on a well-structured team of 17 professionals, including five Partners and three Managing Directors.

The firm has built a strong reputation backed by a solid track record of around 20 M&A transactions per year (sales, acquisitions, and financing), as well as numerous financial valuations.
