Justin Edwards

Justin takes aleading role in Origin IQ's outreach and engagement with M&A target businesses on behalf of our clients.

If you hear from Justin, it is because an Origin IQ client has asked us to approach your business on their behalf. Through confidential conversations, he establishes whether there is an openness to exploring a potential acquisition of your business by our client and, where appropriate, facilitates the progression of discussions to the next stage of the acquisition process.

He brings more than25 years of business development, strategic sales and senior account management experience across a variety of sectors, often with a tech enabled or IT angle.

Before joining Origin IQ, Justin held a number of senior commercial roles, generating high-quality opportunities for IT businesses and working with some of the UK's largest manufacturers, where he was responsible for developing strategic customer relationships and delivering high-value software and hardware solutions.

Earlier in his career, Justin served as Head of Sales at Riliance, helping to grow a start-up SaaS compliance business from launch. He developed the company's lead generation strategy, built and trained the team, and played a key role in driving the business's commercial growth.  At Origin IQ, Justin uses his business development and commercial skills in a non-sales context. 

If you have heard from Justin, it is to discuss our client’s interest in acquiring your business and not to sell our services to you.

When he’s not working Justin enjoys racquet sports and boating in North Wales.
