A dealmaker at Hurst has been promoted to associate partner, having been promoted from the role of associate director.
Max Perry joins the board having completed a range of transactions involving UK and overseas trade buyers and private equity buyers since joining the firm’s corporate finance team in December 2021, after roles at Deloitte and corporate finance boutique Camlee Group.
His deal highlights at Hurst include advising the shareholders of Huddersfield-based PCS Asbestos Consultants on the company’s sale to AIM-listed Marlowe, acting for the shareholders of financial advisory firm Financial Management Bureau on the sale of the Cumbria-based business to Finitor Wealth, and advising north west IT and telecoms solutions provider Active on its sale to technology company Babble.

Nigel Barratt, partner and head of Hurst’s corporate finance team, said: “Max has played a leading role in growing our business by successfully completing transactions with UK and international trade buyers and private equity buyers.
“He is currently working on a number of transactions, has brought new clients to the firm and has built strong relationships with existing ones. He’s passionate about developing team members and actively supports and mentors his colleagues. His promotion is well-deserved and we look forward to seeing Max continue to flourish as our corporate finance practice expands further.”
Perry added: “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at Hurst so far and I’m especially grateful to Nigel, corporate finance partner Ben Bradley and Mike Jackson, the head of our business services team, for their guidance to date.
“I’m absolutely delighted to receive this promotion and to have been invited to join the board. The firm is so full of talented individuals, and the future is incredibly exciting. It’s an honour to be asked to play my part in it.”
