She said: “Our dynamic and ambitious team in the North East is expanding and I’m thrilled to take a leadership role in growing the practice. As a result of the pandemic, we’re seeing more businesses looking to us for support in survival, revival and future growth. We’re well placed to do this having a presence throughout the North East and a strong multi-disciplinary team of experts in advisory, funding and corporate finance.

“I would not be able to lead the region without the wonderful people I work with and I plan to invest time in developing a regional team of experts who are highly trained, motivated and recognised.”

“Ensuring we continue to develop future leadership signals the confidence and commitment we have in the market and Joanne’s appointment reflects the importance we place on delivering the best service possible to our clients across the region.”

He added: “Many of our clients are finding new growth opportunities and improved efficiencies within the “new normal” following the pandemic and the UK’s departure from the European Union; we are all looking forward with fresh optimism to the new challenges 2021 may bring.”
