Graham is ideally placed to advise businesses in financial difficulty because he has experience of three different perspectives on insolvency issues. For the first 6 years, he was an Examiner with the Insolvency Service; where he dealt with the ‘hardcore’ of Court liquidations, bankruptcies, disqualifications and prosecutions; this included a secondment to the fraud squad prosecuting a conspiracy involving a rogue insolvency practitioner.
In 1990 he was approached to join Coopers & Lybrand, (which later became PricewaterhouseCoopers). For the next 7 years, he worked almost exclusively on behalf of the clearing banks; before switching to primarily advising owner-managers of insolvent businesses, initially at PwC and then via other firms.
He finds working for business owners to be the most rewarding as the beneficiaries of his decades of experience really appreciate his approach and practical solutions.
With a lifelong interest in sport, Graham is active with hockey, football and golf and is looking forward to coaching any grandchildren in due course.
