PM+M – the chartered accountancy, business advisory and financial planning group – has made a strategic appointment to its corporate finance team after naming Stephen Robinson as a director.

In his new role, Stephen will be focusing on M&A transactions, disposals, acquisitions, valuations and buy-outs. He primarily works with private companies across many sectors on deals that vary in value from £1m to £50m.

Stephen has many years’ experience in the corporate finance space. As well as mergers and acquisitions, he also specialises in corporate divestiture, change management, post deal integration and private equity. His appointment follows the recent arrival of Ryan Bilsborough who joined the team as a manager in September 2022.

Stephen has worked in the finance sector for nearly 25  years. Prior to joining PM+M, he jointly ran his own buyside M&A advisory firm called Auxilium Advisory. During his career, Stephen has also worked at Zeus Capital, Grant Thornton and Ernst & Young. He holds an MBA from Cranfield University which included undertaking strategic projects with Glaxo-Wellcome plc and Rolls Royce plc.

Paul Spencer, partner at PM+M, said:

“Stephen has a fantastic reputation in the CF community, so we are delighted that he has joined the business. His experience will add real value to our clients and will help to grow our reach – both across Lancashire and the wider North West region.”

Stephen added:

“PM+M is a highly respected firm with a long track record of delivering excellence to its clients, so I knew the fit was right. I am excited to now be part of its future and playing my part in delivering its ambitious growth plans over the next few years.”
