Q&A WITH RICHARD STOCKS

How long have you been at KBS Corporate? I joined KBS as a Research Analyst in October 2017, so I've just celebrated my 5-year anniversary!

What is your role at KBS? I am now a Senior Research Analyst working with both the Corporate and Corporate Finance teams. I identify who the most appropriate and likely buyers and investors are for our clients’ businesses and then make approaches and engage in early discussions with them. What did you do before joining KBS Corporate? Prior to joining KBS, I worked with data analytics and consumer credit reporting company, Experian. I also held other similar research-based roles throughout the earlier stages of my career What do you like most about working for KBS? I enjoy the sheer diversity of the types of business I get to work with, expanding my knowledge on certain industries and getting to learn about new ones – some of which you don’t realise even exist! In your opinion, what is the single most satisfying thing about your role? When a project you work on successfully completes is always satisfying. We build a personal relationship with our clients so to see them realise their objectives and knowing that you helped to make that a reality for them is a big win.

What do you like to do outside of your working life? I enjoy sport – football (more watching than playing these days), cycling, skiing and hiking as well as travel and reading.
