HaysMac appoints Dom Noakes as head of technology

HaysMac has continued to invest in its technology offering through the appointment of Dom Noakes as head of technology.

Noakes joined HaysMac’s business support team in 2016 as an assistant manager, before progressing through the ranks to his current role of director, where he brings “extensive” experience working with start up, scaling and established small companies across a range of areas including management accounts, cloud advisory and cash flow reporting.

In particular, he has played a pivotal role in supporting and scaling the firm’s early stage, fast growth technology clients, strengthened by his close collaboration with the transaction advisory team.

HaysMac said Noakes has a “deep understanding” of the challenges and opportunities faced by fast growth businesses, which has enabled the firm to “deliver exceptional value at every stage of their lifecycle”. 

Noakes has also been key in driving forward the firm’s use of cloud based technology and has been “crucial” in maintaining and developing relationships with key service providers.

In addition, he has been “pivotal” in supporting the firm’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives.

Noakes said: “I am extremely excited and proud to be stepping into the role of Head of Technology. Our technology client base encompasses some of the UK’s most innovative businesses, fastest growing companies, as well as household established industry names. The Technology team at HaysMac is extremely talented and I am excited to build on this momentum to deliver even greater value to the clients we support now, and in the future.”

Jon Dawson, partner and head of sectors and markets at HaysMac, added: “Dom’s work has been key in driving forward the growth of one of the firm’s most established sectors, bringing fantastic technology industry knowledge to the firm’s clients across all stages of the lifecycle. The appointment of Dom reflects our continued investment in our expanding service lines and I am excited to see what Dom will do to further develop this exciting space.”

The firm said technology is one of the firm’s largest sectors and most dynamic markets, including owner-managed start ups and scale ups, private equity backed mid-market firms and large publicly listed companies.
