RG Corporate Finance (RGCF) has announced the appointment of a Corporate Finance Senior Manager to support the growing demand for its specialist CF services.
The Newcastle-based advisory firm has recruited Rhiannon Nightingale to advise shareholders of owner managed businesses, large corporates and Private Equity houses on all aspects of strategy, growth and transformation, including Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A).
Rhiannon, who attended the University of Bristol and then qualified as a chartered accountant with KPMG in the city, relocated to the North East several years ago.
She joins RGCF from Newcastle-based Mayborn Group, a global branded baby and toddler product company, where she was Strategic Partnerships & Acquisitions Lead.
The continued expansion of RGCF reflects the increase in the number, size and complexity of the transactions the firm has advised on over recent months, along with the number of clients the firm works with on a retained basis.
RGCF advises on regional, national and international disposals, acquisitions, Management Buy Outs and Management Buy Ins, whilst also helping clients secure the debt and equity funding they need to scale. In recent months the firm has advised on a number of significant transactions including the Vendor Initiated Management Buy Out of international IT staffing company Venturi, the sale of heritage building company Austin Newport and the seven-figure fund raise completed by flat roof design and insulation specialist TaperedPlus, from Comhar Capital.
Rhiannon Nightingale said: “I am very proud to have joined such a dynamic and growing mid-market Corporate Finance team, which has established an excellent reputation in both the North East and further afield.
“I am keen to bring my inhouse M&A experience to RG Corporate Finance and to help support the firm’s clients’ strategic ambitions.”
Carl Swansbury, Head of Corporate Finance and Partner at RG Corporate Finance, said: “As the level of strategic advice we provide increases, it is important to strengthen our team with talented and experienced individuals who can provide expert support and advice to our clients.
“Rhiannon’s track record in Mergers & Acquisitions will be invaluable and her considerable skills will expand the breadth of expertise we possess as a team. We are delighted to have Rhiannon on board.”
