EY announces seven senior promotion in Turnaround and Restructuring teams (TRS). The seven new EY TRS team partners collective experience includes; creditor and debtor advisory, distressed corporate advisory, debt restructuring, solvent restructuring, pensions strategy and insolvency.

Henry Beech, who specialises in advising creditors in challenging restructurings has been promoted to equity Partner along with fellow London-based colleague James Hutt who has a broad mix of both lender and corporate advisory experience.

Three new Associate Partners are also London-based; Caroline Pover, Salman Saif, and Chris Steven. While Kris Aspin’s appointment to Associate Partner and relocation to Edinburgh from Manchester is a significant addition to the Scottish team led by Colin Dempster. In the Channel Islands Stuart Gardner also steps up to Associate Partner offering a broad range of restructuring expertise both on and offshore from his base in Jersey.

Alan Hudson, EY UK&I Turnaround and Restructuring Strategy Leader said “These promotions are a fantastic achievement for our colleagues and signal the continued growth and investment in top talent within our Turnaround and Restructuring Strategy practice. I know they will bring a depth of knowledge and valuable experience to our clients.”

“By strengthening our senior team, we are enhancing our ability to provide comprehensive and trusted advice to help solve clients’ most complex problems, often at critical moments when they need it most.”

“The extensive capabilities of our team, across a spectrum services from solvent restructuring and working capital improvement to insolvency means we can respond to multiple scenarios at pace. While our close, collaborative relationships with colleagues across the UK and around the world allows us to leverage the full strength of our global EY team for the benefit of clients.”

“At a time when many young people are facing a challenging labour market, our apprenticeship, graduate and internship programmes provide students and school leavers with a great opportunity to gain real hands-on experience, while also enhancing their skills and gaining a qualification. We have another strong cohort joining us in TRS this year and we will be providing continuous support as they build their career at EY.”
