C5 Capital appoints Hudson Sandler

London-based fund manager C5 Capital has appointed Hudson Sandler as its retained advisor for strategic communications.

C5 Capital is a family capital-backed technology investment firm which focuses on the cyber security, data and the cloud computing sectors. It recently announced the acquisition of ITC Secure Networking for £24m, which is the fund’s fourth investment and its first step towards consolidating the European market.

Partner Charlie Jack will lead the Hudson Sandler team with client manager John Merva and client executive Fern Duncan.

Jack said: “As Europe’s leading cyber security investment company, C5 has a phenomenal advantage in a world of relentless and wide-spread cyber-crime.

“This, combined with its deep understanding of investment opportunities created through the disruptive nature of the cloud, ensures that C5 has a fantastic opportunity ahead. We look forward to telling its story and supporting its growth.”

Earlier this month, Hudson Sandler became an independent partnership. It was formerly a subsidiary of communications group Huntsworth plc.
