Bio

Nigel leads the HURST Corporate Finance team.

HURST Corporate Finance are focused on achieving exceptional results from transactions. We are principally committed to realising value for shareholders who have built successful businesses, advising clients on transactions whether selling their business, acquiring businesses or raising finance to grow.

Nigel joined HURST Corporate Finance after a successful career at EY and his own financial services consultancy. Nigel advised clients on mergers and acquisitions, and acted as a non executive director for a number of private companies in industries including pharmaceuticals, food and support services.

I love my role because...

We have great clients who are passionate about their business, however, each client is different and has its own unique challenges. So every day is different and I am still learning and being challenged.

My favourite thing about HURST Corporate Finance is…

We have a great team with a can-do approach who are really committed to doing their best for clients, so running the business is pretty simple!

We align ourselves with the client’s ambition, we want to help them succeed and put in place a team to deliver a great service that is pro-actively supporting ambition.

Our clients chose HURST Corporate Finance because…

We align ourselves with the client’s ambition, we want to help them succeed and put in place a team to deliver a great service that is pro-actively supporting ambition.

When I imagine HURST Corporate Finance in 2034...

A dynamic leadership team that has grown with Hurst with the same culture and ethos and an ambition to continue as an independent owner-managed business supporting similar clients. Of course, the new team may require some wise older heads every now and again!

Where I can be found outside of work...

Outdoors! Whatever the weather, and it does like to test me, I can be found cycling, running or simply enjoying nature.
