A partner at our company with over 25 years’ experience in business recovery and restructuring, Dean Nelson will be working at both our Nottingham and Derby offices to help businesses in financial distress across the East Midlands.
Already an established name in business recovery and restructuring, our team has worked on many high profile cases in recent years, including the administration of Robinson Structures Limited (which saw 68 jobs saved) and the rescue of Belper Leisure Centre, a cornerstone of the local community.
Dean will be supported by a strong and experienced team in this next chapter for our firm, who will also operate across the region to ensure a consolidated and consistent service offering for our East Midlands clients. Director Emily Oliver, who recently became a licensed insolvency practitioner, will continue to be an instrumental force in our Derby office, while manager Kieran Marshall, who has worked at the firm since 2018, rises to the challenge of a more senior role in Nottingham.
Dean commented: “Following recent team changes, I knew that heading up our team in Nottingham and embracing a more united approach across our East Midlands offices would be crucial to ensure our clients continue to benefit from PKF’s first-class business recovery and restructuring services.
“Last year, we acquired insolvency boutique BLB advisory, which strengthened PKF Smith Cooper’s presence in the West Midlands and saw us gain a new partner in Brett Barton as well as over 80 years of combined industry experience from new team members.
“There’s a strong future ahead for PKF Smith Cooper in the East Midlands, and we’re confident that this new chapter for Nottingham and Derby will enable us to grow our service offering, specialist team and existing reputation in the East Midlands. Maintaining a tangible presence in key locations and building solid relationships with clients have always been central to our company values, and I am looking forward to working closely with current and future clients in Nottingham.”
