Promotions at FRP Corporate Finance

We’re pleased to have announced 18 promotions across our office locations, including the appointment of Geraint McGrath as a new Partner in our Cardiff office.

Geraint has worked in corporate finance since 2011, advising corporates, private equity, entrepreneurs and management teams on strategy and transactions, including acquisitions, investment, exits, business planning, MBOs and capital raisings.

Spanning eight locations, the raft of promotions also includes a Director role for Newcastle-based Lucy Elliott and Associate Director positions for Beth Warner in Brighton and Nick Wright in London City.

Within the Corporate Finance team Oyin Quadri (Brighton), Cameron Robertson (Norwich), Mark Ellis (Norwich) and Rhain Davis (Manchester) have all been promoted to Manager; Emma Wade (Bristol), Aaron Williams (Cardiff), Twm Westcott (Cardiff) and Lucy Day (Norwich) has been promoted to Assistant Manager; and Tom Parsons (Manchester) and Will Joyce (London) have been promoted to Executive. In Debt Advisory, Freddie Guy (London) has been promoted to Executive. Within our core support teams Emma Prudden (Reading) has been promoted to National Corporate Finance Support Manager, Cara Donnelly (London) has been promoted to Assistant Manager – Deal Origination, and Amelia King (London) has been promoted to Research Analyst.

The announcement is part of a record round of 130 promotions across the FRP group – our largest to date – reflecting our ongoing strategic growth as we build out new service lines and invest in growing our footprint.

This growth has been underpinned by 15 acquisitions since our IPO in March 2020, including the recent additions of real estate specialists Arc & Co and financial advisory business One Advisory Group.

We have also made key senior hires such as Jessica Ring to lead national private equity coverage and industry veteran Martin Farinola to bolster our real estate debt and capital solutions advisory capabilities. We now operate across 33 locations in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and Cyprus.

Jeremy French, Chief Operating Officer at FRP, said: “This latest round of promotions celebrates colleagues who have demonstrated real commitment to excellence and delivered outstanding results for our clients, during what has been a significant period of growth for the business.

“What’s particularly encouraging is seeing talent development taking place right across our national footprint. It demonstrates our commitment to building capabilities and creating opportunities wherever our people are based. We’re building a culture where talented people can develop, progress and do their best work. Watching our people grow – both professionally and personally – is genuinely one of the most rewarding aspects of what we do, and we’ll continue to back them with the investment and opportunities they need to succeed.”
