Deloitte has appointed a director to its restructuring services team in Leeds.
Martin Chapman has joined the firm as a director from another 'big four' firm, where he was the national sector expert for restructuring in education.
His experience includes working with higher education institutions, further education corporations, independent schools, private training providers, lenders to the education sector and the principal government funding agencies.
Martin Chapman, restructuring services director at Deloitte in Yorkshire, said: "My sector expertise brings another level of experience to the existing team. I have worked with major lenders advising on new and challenging issues that have impacted the education sector, from policy changes through to the recent implementation of new insolvency legislation.
"My advice to corporations includes providing the first due diligence reports on FE mergers and advising on the acquisition of the first FE College from administration."
The Yorkshire and North East restructuring services team, based across the Leeds and Newcastle offices, is now 25-strong and made up of two partners – Clare Boardman and Adrian Berry – plus seven directors, one of which has been promoted and another of which has re-joined the firm.
Kate Rosie has been promoted to director and is the regional leader of Deloitte's corporate simplification national team focusing her time across the regions.
John Berry has re-joined Deloitte after two years working in industry at a private equity owned business going through a major turnaround.
Clare Boardman, partner and Yorkshire & North East restructuring services lead at Deloitte, said: "We continue to invest in the team both in terms of headcount and sector specialisms as we lead clients though periods of financial and operational challenge to establish a path to turnaround. We have the depth of sector and technical expertise to drive success for our clients right here in Yorkshire."
