HW Corporate Finance in Leeds is delighted to announce the appointment of Miles Stanyard as Corporate Finance Partner.
Miles was previously managing director of the fund management team of Partnership Investment Finance (PIF), which funds growing businesses in the Yorkshire region who have not been able to achieve the required funding from conventional sources.
Miles qualified with a big four firm in Sheffield then spent eight years with Leeds-based NatWest Ventures before joining a client company as Finance Director. Following a successful exit of that company, he held a number of FD roles with companies active in acquisitions and disposals, including an investment vehicle for a wealthy family, prior to joining PIF in 2004.
HW Managing Partner Peter Bancroft said: “The recruitment of Miles is a real coup for HW and reflects the progressive nature of our business. He brings a wealth of wide-ranging experience to the firm and will help us to further increase our growing portfolio of clients, not just across Leeds and Yorkshire, but also nationally. His diverse experience as adviser, venture capital investor and finance director gives him an unusual blend of skills and a rare insight from which our clients will benefit hugely. We already have a flexible and entrepreneurial corporate finance team delivering clear, practical and imaginative solutions to our clients and the addition of Miles to that team is the icing on the cake.”
