RG Corporate Finance (RGCF) continues to grow its team of experienced corporate financiers with the addition of Corporate Finance Executive Sam Shield.
Sam joins RGCF following the promotion of Tom Cosby from Corporate Finance Executive to Corporate Finance Manager.
Sam, who is an exam-qualified Chartered Accountant, graduated from the University of York in 2018 with a BSc in Chemistry and a MSc in Management and he joins the firm from Deloitte where he was an Audit & Assurance Assistant Manager.
As a result of Sam’s appointment, RGCF now boasts a team of 23, making RGCF one of the largest, full-service CF advisory boutiques in the North East. Working with clients regionally, nationally and internationally, RGCF has built a strong track record for advising its high growth clients on all aspects of growth, change and transformation, including M&A transactions, such as acquisitions, disposals, MBOs and MBIs, and fundraises.
Carl Swansbury, Partner and Head of Corporate Finance at RGCF, who founded RGCF back in May 2011, said: “Sam is a brilliant, welcome addition to our growing CF business, which is continuing to excel in the advisory services we provide to our clients.
“Having advised on 42 completed transactions in 2021, including the sale of Fostr to IDHL, the MBO of Energize, eQS’s acquisitions of EW Group, Challenge Consultancy and The Educational Guidance Service, the sale of Epco to Mega Group and the MBO of Komatsu, we entered 2022 with a very strong pipeline of M&A transactions, which has continued to increase and has created the opportunity for us to grow the team.
“We’re delighted to have Sam joining us. His experience of working with a wide range of businesses across a number of sectors will be of great value to our clients.
Sam Shield said: “I am looking forward to progressing my career with RGCF and working alongside Carl, Nick Johnson and the team. RGCF is a very dynamic, fast paced CF advisory business, which has an excellent reputation in the North East and further afield.”
