Advisory firm strengthens West Midlands team with senior hire
Advisory firm Quantuma has appointed corporate finance expert Scott Peters as a managing director.
Peters will head up Quantuma’s Midlands corporate finance and national debt advisory practices. He will be based from Quantuma’s premises in Birmingham, and he will also spend time in the firm’s London office.
He joins Quantuma from an independent corporate finance firm based in Birmingham, where he was a director. Prior to this, he held senior roles in Structured Finance with both the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), and consumer bank CYBG PLC. His clients have spanned public companies, private businesses, management, shareholders and investors.
Peters’ recent deals include raising the growth funding for Heidi, a tech-enabled ski tour operator; and the sale of Attraction World to a consortium based in the US and Netherlands. In the last ten years he has completed more than 50 leveraged debt transactions across the Midlands ranging from £1m to £100m, two of which won deal-making awards.
His appointment adds further depth to Quantuma’s growing corporate finance team and follows the recent appointment of Brian Milne, who joined the firm as a managing director in the firm’s Glasgow office in May 2024.
Peters said: “I am delighted to join Quantuma and to be working with such a strong team, and I welcome the opportunity to play my part in supporting the firm’s ambitious growth plans, and to increasing our capabilities in the region.
“The funding market has become more complex and there is an increasing need for good quality advice for SMEs, which is still incredibly underserved. Quantuma are well placed to address this need and I am looking forward to working alongside colleagues in Corporate Finance and the West Midlands to deliver for clients both old and new alike.”
