EY promotes two new equity partners

Mark Clephan

EY’s Mark Clephan and Hilary Heap have been promoted to equity partners.

The firm said the promotions, both in the transactions advisory services team, reflect the “strong demand in the transactions market” and its commitment to playing an active part in supporting the growth of companies in the region.

Heap becomes a partner in the valuations and business modelling team, leading EY’s presence in the North, while Clephan leads EY’s mergers and acquisition team in the North.

He has been responsible for a number of high profile deals in the last 12 months including the sale of Abbey Logistics, Spring Petroleum and Future Industrial Services, along with the IPO of Ramsdens and advising on the purchase of ITC.

Anne Wong in EY’s Manchester tax team has also been promoted to executive director.

Bob Ward, North West senior partner at EY, said: “Welcoming these new equity partners to the North West is testament to the continued investment we are making in our employees to provide our clients with the very best talent. Our new partners are the future leaders of EY – they have the passion and skills to out-innovate and outperform, with an unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional client service. I would like to congratulate all of them on achieving this significant career milestone.

“In an increasingly complex and uncertain world, characterised by disruption and unprecedented technological change, having the best people, with a range of diverse experiences and backgrounds, enables us to best respond to the global demands of our clients. This year’s new partners reflects the depth and breadth of talent we have at EY, and positions us for continued growth in the future.”
