Hutcheon Mearns has enhanced its corporate finance offering with the appointment of two new senior team members and the promotion of another following a period of significant growth.
It has promoted Naill Benzahia from corporate finance manager to corporate finance associate director. In addition, Matthew Graham and Craig Lyon have recently joined the firm to strengthen the company’s corporate finance team.
Graham joins the business with considerable experience in corporate finance and investment banking –primarily with Piper Sandler – having advised high profile business owners and private equity houses on mergers, acquisitions, divestments, and finance raising.
Lyon will lead the Hutcheon Mearns financial due diligence offering, where the firm will provide buyers with a hands on, value driven assessment of acquisitions; and sellers with a thorough preparation for divestment processes.
Adam Maitland, managing director at Hutcheon Mearns, said: “I am delighted to welcome both Matthew and Craig to the Hutcheon Mearns team, while continuing to invest in our people with Naill’s highly-deserved promotion.
“We remain focused on building a differentiated corporate finance capability, with a mix of investment banking, industry, and professional services expertise. Our team is market- leading in its transaction execution capabilities, and we are supplementing this with ambitious national and international growth plans.”
He added: “Attracting Matthew and Craig into the business is a testament to the robust growth plans we have put into motion so far, including opening new offices to better serve our clients locally, nationally, and internationally.”
