Insolvency and advisory firm Leonard Curtis has expanded its Birmingham presence with the launch of a dedicated funding team, as part of a wider strategy to strengthen its national lending and advisory offering.<\/p>\n
The new team will sit alongside the firm\u2019s established Birmingham office in the Colmore Business District and will focus on connecting SMEs and mid-market businesses with funding solutions, lender relationships and advisory support.<\/p>\n
It brings together a mix of advisory and financing expertise, with a focus on supporting businesses across the full lifecycle – from growth and restructuring through to turnaround situations.<\/p>\n
Alison Taylor joins as business advisory lead, bringing experience working with businesses across different stages of development and advising on strategic direction.<\/p>\n
Jas Mall joins as specialist funding relationship manager, with a background in invoice finance and commercial lending roles at Independent Growth Finance, Bibby Financial Services and RBS Invoice Finance.<\/p>\n
Ed Brown also joins the team following four years at Swoop, where he worked on securing funding solutions for businesses across a range of sectors.<\/p>\n
The expanded team will work closely with lenders, introducers and internal restructuring and advisory colleagues to deliver funding solutions across the region.<\/p>\n
Becky Owen head of funding at Leonard Curtis said: \u201cBirmingham is a strategically important market for us and this launch reflects our ambition to expand nationally supporting local businesses, introducers and lenders. Alison, Jas and Ed bring complementary strengths and real market presence to the region. Alongside our existing Birmingham team, they are well placed to make a meaningful difference to businesses across the Midlands.”<\/p>\n
