Prior to ISIS Equity Partners, he worked for Deloitte in Birmingham.
David Hall, managing director YFM Equity Partners, said: “YFM Equity Partners is committed to transforming small businesses across the UK, and having a network of regional offices is central to our success.
“In the past 12 months we have worked on three Birmingham-advised deals worth £27 million.
“We are seeing an increase in opportunities in Birmingham and the West Midlands and we look forward to working with Charlie on some new deals.”
Mr Robinson added: “With their commitment to a new office in Birmingham, this is an exciting time to be joining YFM Equity Partners.
“I am looking forward to working with management teams of fast growing businesses and their advisors who are seeking equity finance of up to £10 million.
“YFM Equity Partners has a great track record of delivering successful deals and I am pleased to be part of the team.”
