A new addition to our ranks has strengthened the HURST Corporate Finance team’s offering.

Abigail Kelly has joined us as a manager from investment bank and advisory firm Cavendish, where she was an associate director in the corporate finance team based in London.

She is a qualified chartered accountant and former senior auditor, and joined Cavendish in 2021.

Abigail has extensive experience in regulatory advisory and transactional work, including public-to-private takeovers, IPOs, acquisitions, fundraises and complex corporate structures.

Our team of M&A experts, supported by the wider firm’s business services, tax and digital teams, focuses on advising owner-managed companies and entrepreneurs on acquisitions, sales, debt funding and private equity investments with transaction values of between £5m and £30m.

HURST partner and director of practice development Simon Brownbill said: “Abigail brings valuable experience from the London market, and her arrival further strengthens our corporate finance team.

“Her appointment is a great example of the calibre of people we continue to attract as we grow.”
