Senior hire strengthens Leonard Curtis restructuring team in London
Professional services firm, Leonard Curtis has appointed Mark Hickford as Director in its London office, further strengthening the firm's restructuring and insolvency capability as it continues to grow its presence in the mid-market.
Mark joins from EY-Parthenon, and brings over 15 years of experience advising boards, management teams and wider stakeholders, from mid-market businesses through to larger national and international organisations.
A qualified accountant and an appointment taking Insolvency Practitioner, Mark’s experience spans a broad range of restructuring matters, including cash flow and liquidity reviews, insolvency options analysis, contingency planning, accelerated M&A and formal insolvency appointments.
He has experience across a range of sectors including retail, higher education, real estate and automotive, and is also well versed in creditor-side roles, including LPA and fixed charge receiverships.
Having worked closely throughout his career with lawyers, banks and asset-based lenders, these relationships will be central to his focus at Leonard Curtis.
The appointment builds on a period of strong growth and reflects the firm’s continued ambition to attract senior talent, following the investment by Pollen Street Capital last year.
Alex Cadwallader, Director, said: " We are delighted that Mark has joined us. His approach and drive will be a great addition to our expanding restructuring team in London and across the group. In recent times we have delivered some significant and positive outcomes for our clients in this growing space and Mark will only add to our skillset and experience.
Mark Hickford said: “Leonard Curtis is on a clear positive growth trajectory and is becoming increasingly prominent in the mid-market restructuring and insolvency space - I am excited for the opportunity to be a part of it. After meeting with the team, I felt the business was a great fit for me. It was clear this was somewhere I could make a difference and help continue the momentum the business has built in recent years. I am looking forward to leading engagements and working with great clients on interesting situations.”
