Our services
The right services at the right time for you
We are experts in delivering solutions to our clients throughout the corporate life cycle and pride ourselves in offering a senior-led service with every client receiving clear, honest and strategic advice. Personally, I’m delighted to be back as a Partner, although in reality I have never really been away. For the last 18 months I have acted as a Consultant leading a number of transactions over that period, including one of the most complex transactions of my career bringing together seven independent businesses to form a leading national coach operator backed by a European Private Equity House. The completion of such a transaction is another example of the unique skills of the FRP Corporate Finance team and its ability to deliver exceptional results for its clients, even when others said it couldn’t be done. I’m excited to be leading the Corporate Finance team into 2025, with the ambition and mandate to grow the practice, building our market leading advisory proposition in the Central and East of England market to help even more clients realise value from their businesses. With the autumn budget in the rear-view mirror and the certainty this gives to business owners on the tax
landscape over the coming months and years, we are going into 2025 with a strong pipeline of transactions across the whole range of our specialisms including international sell side mandates, private equity buyouts, buy side acquisition support, transition to employee ownership and management buyouts. Even if you are not considering a transaction for many months, even years, I highly recommend you speak to us to get our advice on how to best position your business for a future event. Unlike a lot of firms, we are very happy to invest our time into businesses and relationships early, which is another reason we have such a high success rate in delivering transactions. Bring on 2025...
