Challenging year brings out best in people at Leonard Curtis

Leonard Curtis Business Solutions Group has announced 16 internal promotions this week as it continues to strengthen and reward its teams across the UK, recognising outstanding achievements in a challenging year.

The firm specialises in corporate restructuring and insolvency, personal debt advice, equity and debt finance raising for SMEs, cashflow optimisation, property solutions and legal services.

In its core recovery team Nicky Brooks has been made Business Development Director, heading up a national 12-strong team. Steve Markey of the MVL and Closures Teams in Bury also becomes a Director, an IP with over 15 years’ service to the company.

There was success for Rochelle Schofield of the Front End Administrations Team in Manchester, Lauren Fitton of the MVL Team in Bury and Kirsty Swan of the Birmingham office - all promoted to Senior Managers.

In Glasgow the firm reinforced its commitment to Daniela Coia and Derek Ross making them both Managers. Also being recognised is Richard Lloyd who was promoted to Administrator in the Birmingham office, and, in Bury, Yamin Vahaluwala from the Accounts team has been made a Finance Analyst.

London remains a key focus for investment so the HR team saw promotions for Sally Adjemian, who becomes Assistant Manager and Elle Millwood who moves to HR and Office Support. Ioannis Katsaros and Ollie Kennedy take up new Administrator posts in the capital.

As a mark of intent in its fast-growing legal arm Leonard Curtis also promoted Gemma Coll and Sherrelle Scott to Associates. In a separate move April Hampton, who was put forward as Business Support Champion in the recent Manchester Law Society Awards, gets her reward, becoming Head of Legal Administration.

Group Director Daniel Booth said that people across the company had shown remarkable resolve in the last 12 months and each promotion had been thoroughly deserved.

“The people in this business make me proud every day. By recognising talent and commitment we strengthen the whole business, which in turn helps the professional advisors and business owners we serve - at no better time. We wish everyone all the best in their new roles.”
