FRP Corporate Finance has announced the appointment of a new partner in the Midlands as it looks to bolster its support for businesses across the region.
Dan Salt joins the firm’s Birmingham office, having spent the last four years within the Midlands M&A team at EY. There, he provided tailored, strategic advice to business owners and management teams on a wide range of transactions across sectors including industrials, business services, energy transition, and building products.
Dan’s recent deal experience includes successfully advising clients such as automotive specialists SYNETIQ and Fastlane Paint & Body, and affiliate marketing services company Skycon Limited, on various acquisition and sale processes. He previously spent time at Clearwater International and, prior to that, worked in leveraged finance at Royal Bank of Scotland.
In his new role, Dan will be spearheading growth in FRP Corporate Finance’s Midlands team and helping expand the business’ footprint in the region.
FRP continues to grow through key strategic hires and acquiring several corporate finance and restructuring businesses – adding eight new offices across the UK and its first international office, in Cyprus – since listing on AIM in 2020.
Dan said: “FRP Corporate Finance is already very well known for the quality of its people and its track record of working on some of the most high-profile transactions up and down the country. The Midlands is home to a vibrant corporate finance community and, despite a cautious 12 months for M&A, the drivers for management teams to invest in, grow or sell their businesses haven’t gone away.
“What I’m now looking forward to most is working alongside my new talented and experienced colleagues, and getting out there and building new relationships with ambitious local businesses that play to the region’s strengths across manufacturing, technology, renewable energy, and much more.”
Jeremy French, chief operating officer at FRP, added: “Dan’s appointment reiterates both our ability to attract the very best talent in the corporate finance sector, and our commitment to expanding our offering in the Midlands as part of growing our national team.
“His stature in the Midlands dealmaking community and the wealth of experience he brings means the team is now perfectly placed to continue to grow and deliver the best possible outcomes for our clients.”
