Parkwalk Blueprint Research

Parkwalk Blueprint

Parkwalk Blueprint provides research and advisory services to investment institutions and corporate clients, specialising primarily in the manufacturing area of the quoted sector.

The Blueprint team has over 50 years of experience in the investment world building a trusted track record on both the buy side and the sell side.

The emphasis is on adding value in the belief that research is better suited to investors’ needs when it is concise and accurate with intelligent analysis rather than driven by a need for quantity.

Blueprint research is read and paid for by major UK investors. These relationships with investor institutions enables Blueprint to offer services to corporate clients. We do not wish to usurp the current broker – corporate relationship, but rather to add an additional dimension which we feel the 'one size fits all' approach cannot offer.

Our method is to be targeted on the specific issues and problems faced by our clients. We offer services from researching current shareholder opinions to reorganising shareholder structures and raising capital.

The Team

Steve Medlicott and Andrew Burdis first worked together at Altium Capital. They set up Blueprint Research in August 2012 in the belief that the old structures in broking were not sustainable.

Steve qualified as a chartered accountant with PwC in 1991 and became an investment analyst the following year for what is now EFG, a private Swiss Bank. He has been involved with the small and midcap end of the market ever since.

Best known as an analyst within the Industrial sectors he has been voted the top analyst in the Extel survey in this sector a number of times and more recently was the top Pan European analyst in the 2011 Reuters Starmine awards.

As well as being well known and respected for his research Steve has advised and has been instrumental in IPOs, share placings and M&A transactions.

Andrew has over thirty years of experience in the investment industry having started in private client broking on 1980.

He moved into fund management and managed UK retail and Institutional funds at Gartmore from 1987 until 2001.

He was recruited to manage the £5bn Unit Linked life and Pension schemes at Morley Fund Managers (now Aviva).

In 2005 Andrew returned to broking working at Numis establishing himself with institutional investors and helping raise money for numerous corporate clients through IPO’s and placings.

He moved to Altium in 2009, before establishing Blueprint in 2012.
