Seasoned investment banker and former Head of Plc Advisory of Zeus Capital, Ross Andrews, has launched Guild Financial Advisory which will focus on providing independent corporate finance advice to both private and publicly listed companies based in the UK and internationally.
With strong industry experience and a vast network of relationships built up over 30 years the Company will support fast growing ambitious businesses through its core service offerings of IPO support, fund raisings, transaction project management, corporate governance and the provision of Non-executive director services.
David Battle will be joining Guild Financial Advisory shortly. David Battle has more than 30 years in the UK and Global Financial Markets and was most recently Managing Director, Markets for NEX Exchange. Prior to this, he was SVP for Singapore Exchange as their Chief Representative for Europe and North America.
Guild Financial Advisory will build a network of consultants with specialist transaction and sector knowledge to provide clients with expertise across a wide range of skill-sets. The consultants will benefit from being able to execute their deals and access regulatory support, marketing resources, and other expert consultants.
Andrews says: “Guild Financial Advisory has been set up to support fast-growing, ambitious companies with independent, bespoke corporate finance advice, recognising that ‘one size doesn’t fit all’ and the importance of service.”
“The market is evolving and we are witnessing challenger businesses delivering new products and services, disrupting established players which have to reposition themselves to remain relevant. Raising money may seem daunting for businesses but market conditions are far better than they have been in recent years driven by the availability of capital from a growing number of sources.”
“Navigating through this complex landscape can be tricky for business owners who may not be fully aware of all the options, opportunities, potential pitfalls or when they are being presented with a good deal.”
“We are excited to be able to use our vast knowledge and contact base to help businesses grow and to deliver service excellence.”
