Newcastle-based independent chartered accountancy and business advisory firm UNW has announced the appointment of former KPMG director Chris Wilson as partner and head of corporate finance.
Wilson previously led KPMG’s mergers and acquisitions activity in the East of England, advising both private and public companies on a range of transactions, including acquisitions, disposals, equity and debt financing, restructurings, and other corporate transactions.
Wilson said: “UNW is a firm I have long been aware of, with a strong brand that is embedded in the heart of the region’s business community. The firm has grown incredibly successfully over the years simply by doing what it does very well: delivering service excellence, achieving the best results for its clients in a thoughtful, considerate way, and consistently supporting the development of its people.
“There is an excellent culture here, and the potential for even further growth. The future looks incredibly bright, and I personally feel like it’s the perfect time for me to join the firm and move back to the North East.”
Paul Mankin, chair of corporate finance at UNW, added: “Chris has a passion and track record for building lasting, long-term relationships with clients and colleagues alike, and we are delighted to have him join the firm at an exciting time for everyone. His highly impressive professional background means that he is an excellent fit not only for UNW’s Corporate Finance team but for the wider firm and its clients.”
