Leonard Curtis strengthens funding expertise with new appointment
Leonard Curtis continues expansion of its funding pillar with the appointment of Mike Dinnell to the business advisory and commercial finance team.
With over 30 years’ banking and debt-advisory experience, Mike has supported numerous businesses looking for growth funding. Mike’s experience covers a wide range of sectors with a specialism in structured finance and working capital solutions.
He said: “We are looking to grow the funding team at Leonard Curtis, where we will be working closely with clients to identify and deliver financial solutions that fit with their growth aspirations.”
“Forward planning is a key element of any business. Our approach to client advisory is as a trusted partner through all stages of the journey. Whilst we can support the short-term working capital needs of a business, we can also use our network to offer a full range of funding solutions for capital investment or growth capital of a business”
“We specialise in providing business owners with guidance for acquisition funding (M&A) or an event where a funding solution is often critical in the succession or strategy of the business. Examples of event driven transactions are equity sale or share purchase, management buy-outs or buy-ins, employee ownership and investor/ private equity investments.
Leonard Curtis’ head of commercial finance, Becky Owen, said: “Mike is a critical hire for our funding team, bringing with him a wealth of knowledge and experience across client advisory which will be invaluable in supporting our clients and introducers as we continue to execute our exciting growth plans.”
Head of funding Gary Cain commented: “Mike is well known and respected in the industry and makes a fantastic addition to our funding pillar.
“His skillset and experience adds further depth to the existing team who continue to deliver outstanding solutions and support to SMEs across the UK.”
