Bishop Fleming promotes new partner

Bishop Fleming has announced the promotion of David Lock to partner, strengthening the firm’s funding advisory services.

Prior to becoming a partner, Lock was a corporate finance director based in the firm’s Bristol office.

He has extensive experience in corporate finance with a lead advisory, banking, debt and equity background, having worked across the entire South of England.

Before joining Bishop Fleming in July 2021, Lock worked in a range of organisations including the Big 4 and banking.

This comes after two other recent promotions to partner, taking the firm’s total number up to 43, as well as the appointment of two new directors.

Lock said: “I am delighted to have been given this opportunity after two very rewarding years at Bishop Fleming. The team culture, drive and focus I have witnessed is compelling, helping the firm to attract the very best people at all levels and providing a solid foundation for the firm’s continued growth.

“I am very much looking forward to many more years of playing my part – providing high quality advice to a high quality and demanding client base.”

Andrew Sandiford, managing partner, said: “David’s promotion aligns with our strategy of growing our professional services to our clients and bringing talent up through our business. We congratulate David and wish him success in his new leadership role.”
