KR8 Advisory launches new office in Leeds
KR8 Advisory, which launched this year in Manchester and London, has continued its rapid expansion with the appointment of a Leeds-based associate managing director.
Rob Halliday joins KR8’s Advisory practice having most recently worked for a global professional services firm, bringing more than 14 years of specialist restructuring and corporate finance experience.
Working closely with clients and key stakeholders to maximise and preserve value during periods of business stress and distress, Rob has significant Special Situations M&A experience. He has facilitated a number of market-leading rescue transactions in recent years, while working closely across the turnaround investor and asset-based lending communities.
Rob, who will work from KR8’s new Leeds premises at West Village on Wellington Street, commented: “I’m thrilled at the opportunity to join KR8 at a time of sustained growth with the establishment of an office in Leeds, which is a key expansion area for both KR8 and the wider K3 Capital Group.
“I look forward to being part of a dynamic advisory-led organisation, working with a talented group of colleagues to deliver high-impact solutions for our clients.”
Martin Gray, managing director in the Advisory practice at KR8, commented: “We are delighted that someone of Rob’s calibre is joining us at KR8 to further strengthen our market-leading and growing team.
“Not only does Rob expand our regional footprint in Leeds, the breadth of his Special Situations M&A expertise will be invaluable in supporting our clients nationally across the UK.”
Launched in January by nine managing directors, supported by an experienced team of turnaround professionals, KR8 Advisory will continue to recruit across all offices and seek further expansion into other key UK cities.
