Begbies Traynor makes partner promotions across Yorkshire and Humber

Begbies Traynor Group has announced the promotions of Laura Baxter and Mike Jenkins to partner, enhancing its senior-level insolvency and restructuring teams across Hull, Humber, York and the surrounding areas. 

Baxter and Jenkins have almost two decades of collective experience as qualified insolvency practitioners supporting businesses across a full range of insolvency and restructuring activities, as well as complementing the other business services provided by the firm in the area. 

Based in the firm’s Hull, Grimsby and Scunthorpe offices, Baxter has been with the firm more than 12 years and delivers advice to businesses across Hull and East Yorkshire. After obtaining a Law Degree at the University of Hull, she completed her Legal Practice Course in 2006. She then moved into financial services consultancy, climbing the ranks before qualifying as an insolvency practitioner in 2019.

Meanwhile, Jenkins has been at the firm since 2008, when the firm he started at as a trainee was acquired by Begbies Traynor. He qualified as an insolvency practitioner in 2013, and has now risen to partner at the firm. In his role he works across industries including agriculture, retail, construction, hospitality and manufacturing in York.

Julian Pitts, regional managing partner at Begbies Traynor Group, said: “Businesses across the region need senior advice to help them make difficult decisions and navigate their way through the current economic climate. Both Laura and Mike have proven time and time again that their guidance and support to businesses is vital. 

“These promotions are richly deserved and I know that the clients they work with on a daily basis appreciate the valuable guidance they offer during times of extreme pressure and distress.”
