Bio

Mr. Schofield grew up in the North West of England and began his career in M&A as an office junior, taking every opportunity to get involved in as many aspects of the business as he could. This led to him working directly with sellers, buyers, solicitors and finance providers alike to bring deals together with as few complications as possible. In time, this experience was turned to helping others develop their own skills and guiding operational development of the business, something he finds very engaging and still drives him today. Kieran’s focus is primarily on helping the business improve its own processes and operational concerns, but with the fundamental understanding that outcomes should always, ultimately, improve client experiences. This means putting into practice development plans based on feedback from clients and our own internal teams. He firmly believes that no business should ever stand still, and Benchmark International is no exception. Mr. Schofield’s position is varied with diverse operational elements including working on improving internal business processes, IT and systems development, and attending to matters that do not necessarily fit neatly into any one category. Prior to joining Benchmark International, he worked in a procurement role for the service division of a major, multi-national company that manufactures water systems. This provided him with a solid insight into how a global company operates and the valuable experience of building relationships across an international stage. He recognised that the Benchmark International team was building something special, and, with the experience he had, he believed he could help the team continue to build.
