A firm that aims to give the niche area of enterprise investment schemes a major lift via its platform has made a trio of appointments.

Kuber Ventures, the platform giving access to enterprise investment schemes and similar funds, has appointed a trio as part of its sales growth ambitions.

The hires are Tim Thornton, Matt Lenzie and Kate Hopkin. All three roles are newly-created, the firm said in a statement. 

Hopkin joins as a business development associate. Previously, she worked at Brooks MacDonald and Fidelity International.

Lenzie’s role is to increase Kuber Ventures' coverage across London and the Southeast of the UK, while Thornton is based in Leeds. Lenzie was previously head of sales for EIS and head of investor relations at Angels Den, an investor platform. Thornton has worked at Blackfinch Investments and in previous roles in the North of England.

Kuber Ventures says it is the only alternative fund investment platform offering access to EIS and seed EIS (SEIS) portfolios and funds. The business was set up in 2013 and its chief executive is Dermott Campbell, who has held senior positions at firms such as UBS.
