Financial recruiter Hamlyn Williams wins $7m injection from Meraki Capital

A specialist, international staffing business has secured a multi-million dollar investment from a recruitment-focused private equity house.

London-based Meraki Capital has invested upwards of $7m (£5.49m) into recruiter Hamlyn Williams to help accelerate its aim of rapid growth.

Hamlyn Williams employs 100 people across five offices in London, Cardiff, New York, San Diego and Amsterdam. It specialises in recruitment for financial services, fintech, cybersecurity and life sciences.

Nick Vaughan, founder and CEO at Hamlyn Williams, said the investment “will allow us to scale our business taking it from $50m in revenues in 2024 to achieving over $100m in revenues by 2026”.

Meraki Capital founder Nick Gordon will join Hamlyn Williams’s board.

The capital firm also supported the 2023 launch of Strategic Moves Consultancy, a specialist IT and gaming recruiter.
