Experienced team launches consultancy
A team of experienced Yorkshire professionals and businessmen have joined forces to launch Armitage Jones – a consultancy offering specialist advice to companies with corporate restructuring and funding issues.
Leading Yorkshire insolvency practitioner Tony Armitage, former lawyer-turned investor Chris Jones, and property developer and professional investor Simon Padgett have joined forces to create the firm
"The aim of Armitage Jones is to combine our experience and skills in order to make businesses in distress aware of the full range of options open to them, and to deliver rapid action that can save them," said director Tony Armitage.
"We have brought together expertise in law, accountancy, insolvency, and property, as well as first-hand experience of starting and running businesses that can help firms to analyse business, remedy problems and identify opportunities to recover and to thrive.
"Our firm's place in the market is working with businesses that need quick, effective strategic action to make positive changes in their business direction to avoid serious trouble, and we have a boutique offering that will be as much about implementation as advice,"
he said.
Based in Ilkley, West Yorkshire, the firm has already been approached to offer advice to businesses in Leeds and across the North of England.
Mr Jones, who headed up law-firm Hammonds during the late 1990s, is also a board director of The Britannia Building Society which recently announced its merger with Co-operative Financial Services.
Yorkshire Bank has strengthened its North Yorkshire Financial Solutions Centre (FSC), which has offices in York and Harrogate, with the appointment of David McIntyre, 43, as a business banking partner.
McIntyre, who lives in Knaresborough, joins North Yorkshire FSC, which has 40 specialist banking staff and covers the whole of North Yorkshire, apart from Craven, after 30 years with a major national bank.
He will divide his time between Yorkshire Bank North Yorkshire FSC, Clifton Moor and Harrogate FSC, James Street, and has particular expertise in motor and asset finance and commercial property.
Yorkshire Bank launched its Financial Solutions Centres to spearhead an integrated, one-stop-shop approach to
business and personal banking which has played a key role in
its growth.
The business development team at Sheffield Chamber of Commerce is under new leadership, after the promotion of an existing member of staff.
Dale Robinson, who joined the Chamber in 2007, has been promoted to business development team leader.
He will now be responsible for a team of six business development executives and one membership recruitment executive, and will oversee the performance of the entire team.
