HURST dealmaker Max Perry has become an associate partner and joins our board as a result of his promotion.
Max has completed a range of transactions involving UK and overseas trade buyers and private equity buyers since joining our corporate finance team in December 2021.
His deal highlights with us include advising the shareholders of Huddersfield-based PCS Asbestos Consultants on the company’s sale to AIM-listed Marlowe, acting for the shareholders of financial advisory firm Financial Management Bureau on the sale of the Cumbria-based business to Finitor Wealth, and advising north west IT and telecoms solutions provider Active on its sale to technology company Babble.
Max is among a group of our rising stars who are taking part in a bespoke two-year leadership development programme.
We are the first accountancy firm headquartered in the north to launch a Vistage Inside programme for future leaders. Vistage, with 45,000 members worldwide, is a global leader in personal development and advisory groups for CEOs, key executives and leadership teams.
Nigel Barratt, partner and head of our corporate finance team, said: “Max has played a leading role in growing our business by successfully completing transactions with UK and international trade buyers and private equity buyers.
“He is currently working on a number of transactions, has brought new clients to the firm and has built strong relationships with existing ones. He’s passionate about developing team members and actively supports and mentors his colleagues.
“His promotion is well-deserved and we look forward to seeing Max continue to flourish as our corporate finance practice expands further.”
Max said: “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at HURST so far and I’m especially grateful to Nigel, corporate finance partner Ben Bradley and Mike Jackson, the head of our business services team, for their guidance to date.
“I’m absolutely delighted to receive this promotion and to have been invited to join the board. The firm is so full of talented individuals, and the future is incredibly exciting. It’s an honour to be asked to play my part in it.”
