FRP Corporate Finance has announced 18 promotions across its office locations, including the appointment of Geraint McGrath as partner in its Cardiff office.
Geraint has worked in corporate finance since 2011, advising corporates, private equity, entrepreneurs and management teams on strategy and transactions, including acquisitions, investment, exits, business planning, MBOs and capital raisings.
Spanning eight locations, the raft of promotions also includes a director role for Newcastle-based Lucy Elliott and associate director positions for Beth Warner in Brighton and Nick Wright in London City.
The announcement is part of a record round of 130 promotions across the wider FRP group – the firm’s largest to date – reflecting its ongoing strategic growth as it continues to build out new service lines and expand its footprint.
This has been underpinned by 15 acquisitions since its IPO in March 2020, including the recent additions of real estate specialists Arc & Co and financial advisory business One Advisory Group.
The firm has also made key senior hires such as Jessica Ring to lead national private equity coverage and industry veteran Martin Farinola to bolster its real estate debt and capital solutions advisory capabilities. It now operates across 33 locations in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and Cyprus.
Jeremy French, chief operating officer at FRP, said:
“This latest round of promotions celebrates colleagues who have demonstrated real commitment to excellence and delivered outstanding results for our clients, during what has been a significant period of growth for the business.
“What’s particularly encouraging is seeing talent development taking place right across our national footprint. It demonstrates our commitment to building capabilities and creating opportunities wherever our people are based. We’re building a culture where talented people can develop, progress and do their best work. Watching our people grow – both professionally and personally – is genuinely one of the most rewarding aspects of what we do, and we'll continue to back them with the investment and opportunities they need to succeed.”
