Adrian Doble is head of FRP Advisory’s Restructuring Services division.

Adrian's role is to help companies survive, improve and prosper.

He represents companies with their investors and banks, helping them to create liquidity, restructure their debt, and devise and implement their turnaround plans. He will take responsibility alongside the CEO and board for the restructuring element – something that directors should take great comfort from in troubled times.

Adrian was made a Fellow of the Institute for Turnaround as a result of his services to company-side restructurings. He is also a Fellow of The Chartered Institute of Bankers. Having worked on turnaround projects in the UK and Europe for 16 years, Adrian’s experience of the relationship between operations, finance and investors is an area that many companies benefit from.
