Grant Thornton has announced the appointment of partner Pete Terry to be its practice lead in the North West, overseeing a 500-person team across Liverpool and Manchester.
Terry, who joined the firm in 2017 as a corporate finance partner, will continue in that role while also heading the corporate finance team across the North and leading Grant Thornton’s national private equity business.
In his expanded position, Terry will also focus on supporting the local partner team, developing client relationships and strengthening the firm’s inclusive culture.
He has more than 25 years of experience in corporate finance, specialising in mid-market mergers and acquisitions and private equity.
Terry said: “It’s great to take on this new role alongside my existing responsibilities. The North West means a lot to me – I was born here and have spent the last 30 years working across the region. It’s a vibrant and rewarding market – big enough to have real impact, but still close-knit enough to make a difference.
“The region continues to thrive, with strong growth in sectors like technology, healthcare and energy, as well as in established industries like aerospace. Private equity is especially active – Manchester is Europe’s second-largest PE market.”
He added: “This role gives me the chance to help shape our strategy while staying close to what I enjoy most – working with our corporate finance team on complex deals. With 500 talented people across Manchester and Liverpool, we offer real strength and expertise to our clients. I’m excited to help us grow while protecting the collaborative culture that makes us unique.”
