Quantuma promotes Midlands-based Richard Easterby to managing director
Business advisory firm, Quantuma, is pleased to announce the promotion of restructuring specialist Richard Easterby to managing director. Richard is a licensed insolvency practitioner (IPA) in Quantuma’s Restructuring & Insolvency team and is head of the firm’s fast-growing Birmingham office.
A seasoned restructuring professional, Richard has around 20 years’ experience advising company directors, secured lenders and other key stakeholders across a variety of distressed situations. He has worked on a wide range of corporate insolvency assignments of both a transactional and complex nature.
Joining Quantuma in 2014 from the Insolvency team of a top 10 accountancy firm, Richard had prior experience with a boutique insolvency firm. His past projects include the administration of a substantial construction business, the trading and lease assignment of a London nightclub, the pre-packaged administration sale of a restaurant chain, the liquidation of wine investment companies and the administration of a football club.
Quantuma has a fast-growing Midlands presence with Richard Easterby and Corporate Finance expert Scott Peters being joined by senior new colleagues last year, including restructuring specialist and managing director Chris Lewis, as well as forensic accounting expert and managing director, Hannah Griffin.
Quantuma’s UK Restructuring and Insolvency lead Chris Newell commented: “This promotion is thoroughly deserved, as a result of all the hard work, technical ability and ambition that Richard has shown. Richard has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership and a deep understanding of the market.
I am excited to see Richard step into his new role and look forward to seeing what he can achieve. I feel confident that he will continue to deliver outstanding results for our business clients as we continue on our ambitious growth trajectory.”
Richard responded: “I am really excited about this new role and opportunity. I am particularly looking forward to driving the continued growth of our Birmingham office, expanding our market presence, and helping our talented team to thrive in this dynamic region.”
