The Bristol office of the Leonard Curtis Business Solutions Group continues to expand with the appointment of Dean Stritch, who will head the specialist debt advisory business Corporate Strategies.
Dean joins Leonard Curtis having spent 11 years in the financial industry, four as an independent financial adviser with Chase de Vere and seven with Barclays Bank, where he looked after a portfolio of high net worth individuals, both business and personal, providing holistic financial planning and wealth management.
National head of corporate strategies, Daniel Booth said: “We are delighted to welcome Dean in what is an exciting time for Corporate Strategies and the wider Group. With a focus on growing the Corporate Strategies division, we continue to increase the solutions available to businesses in these difficult times.”
Dean said: “I am delighted to have been given the opportunity to join the Corporate Strategies division of Leonard Curtis Business Solutions Group. I was particularly attracted by the Group’s growing focus on providing debt and funding solutions for SME’s that may be experiencing financial difficulties.
“We have an excellent team in place and I’m looking forward to working with them to develop and raise the profile of the division both locally and nationally.”
At the start of the month the Leonard Curtis Business Solutions Group announced a 15 per cent growth in turnover attributed to its development of these non-insolvency solutions for stressed businesses.
Ed Preedy and Adrian Sullivan have also joined the teams in Birmingham and Manchester respectively as part of the group’s strategy to continue to grow its non-insolvency service lines nationwide.
Headquartered in Manchester, the Group employs 150 people across eight offices including London, Birmingham and Bristol.
