EY Manchester appoints new director

EY Manchester has announced it has appointed former PwC director Sam Mills, Mills will specialise in restructuring, refinancing and turnaround work for corporate clients.

Mills’ arrival follows the appointment of Ben Wildsmith as a partner for the Manchester transaction advisory services team in September when he returned to EY from private equity firm Northedge Capital.

Mills said: “It was a very easy decision to make because EY has demonstrated consistent investment in the regional business and built a market leading restructuring practice. I am already seeing new and exciting client engagements and I look forward to meeting and working with clients and the team in the coming months.”

Wildsmith added: “We are really proud of the restructuring and turnaround work that we are winning both nationally and locally, in the North West market. The work is increasingly varied, it requires a broader skill set and a more experienced team to deliver the work than it has historically.

“Sam brings a particular focus on corporate work and adds further strength and depth to our team as we continue to invest in our transactional business.”
