North East accountancy firm UNW has announced the appointment of Nick Broadhead as corporate finance partner.
Broadhead joins UNW after 12 years at KPMG in Newcastle where he worked nationally specialising in private equity transactions.
He is the company’s third corporate finance partner appointment of the year following the arrival of Paul Mankin in February 2022 as chair of corporate finance and Chris Wilson as head of corporate finance in August 2022.
Broadhead said: “This is a particularly unique opportunity to develop the corporate finance business at a premier regional independent firm. To see a firm investing heavily in its senior team—as UNW has done this year—speaks volumes about its commitment to enhancing the breadth and depth of experience that can be drawn upon when advising new and existing clients.
“It’s an exciting time for me to be joining UNW. The firm has a distinctive culture and its
offering to clients is incredibly strong. The corporate finance business has always delivered
consistent volumes of transaction activity and I’m looking forward to linking up with Paul,
Chris and the rest of the team to help broaden our offering and maximise the opportunities in front of us.”
Chris Wilson, partner and head of corporate finance at UNW, added: “I am absolutely
delighted to welcome Nick to the Corporate Finance Team at UNW. He is an accomplished
dealmaker, committed to helping clients achieve the very best possible outcomes and is
passionate about the North East.
“Nick brings a wealth of experience across a range of deal types and sizes and his
appointment really underlines our objective to be the transaction advisor of choice for
ambitious entrepreneurs and owner-managed businesses. I’m confident Nick’s existing
knowledge, expertise and network will enable him to hit the ground running.”
Broadhead is a native of the North East and studied an economics degree at Leeds University.
