FRP acquires Wilson Field

FRP has acquired Sheffield-based restructuring group Wilson Field in a £4.8m deal.

The deal will see Wilson Field’s 63 strong team of licensed insolvency and debt advisory specialists join FRP, with two directors Nick Wilson and Kelly Burton joining the firm as partners.

FRP said the acquisition strengthens its national restructuring advisory team in Yorkshire, adding to the experience of the existing Leeds office. It represents the latest milestone for the firm, having added nine new offices since listing on AIM in 2020, including its first international office in Cyprus and acquiring a series of restructuring and corporate finance businesses.

Geoff Rowley, chief executive officer at FRP, said: “Wilson Field is a great business that supports our growth strategy, with a highly complementary digital platform and on-the-ground presence in South Yorkshire. We expect to deepen referral relationships in Sheffield, with the team going to market locally as FRP. 

“We are pleased to welcome Kelly, Nick and the team to the group and look forward to working together. They share our values and I have no doubt will make a strong contribution to FRP as we continue to grow.”

Nick Wilson, founder of Wilson Field, added: “We’re excited to be joining FRP. The move will create opportunities and enable us to extend the range of services we can offer to our clients. We are culturally aligned and look forward to accelerating our growth as part of the FRP Advisory Group.”
