Translink Corporate Finance expands with two appointments

Translink Corporate Finance UK has expanded its team with the addition of Alex Archer and Lauren Woodward, two corporate finance executives, based at the firm’s Leeds and Sheffield offices.

Alex brings five years of experience in audit and assurance from a large regional firm in the North of England. 

He has worked with a wide range of businesses, including SMEs and multinational companies, across sectors such as manufacturing, logistics and technology. 

Alex said: “I’m thrilled to join Translink Corporate Finance and be part of such a well-respected team. 

“The opportunity to work on cross-border deals within a large, global firm is a fantastic next step in my career. 

“I look forward to supporting our clients in achieving their strategic goals.”

Lauren joins Translink from BHP Chartered Accountants, where she spent four years in the audit department. 

During her time at BHP, she gained experience across various sectors, including business services and industrials. 

Lauren added: “I’m proud to join Translink Corporate Finance and work alongside experienced professionals in the industry.

“Translink and BHP collaborate on a number of projects to deliver the best possible full-service solutions for our clients, which is another reason why I’m excited for my new role.

“As a global leader in mid-market M&A, Translink opens up many of opportunities for our clients who I look forward to working closely with throughout the deal process to better understand their businesses and industries.

“I believe this knowledge is key to delivering added-value client service. 

“I’m also very excited to learn from my colleagues, whose expertise will guide my growth.”

Both appointments are part of Translink’s ongoing strategy to build a team that can provide expert advice on a wide range of corporate finance services, further enhancing its presence in the UK market.

Andy Haigh, partner at Translink Corporate Finance UK, added: “We are really pleased to welcome Alex and Lauren into the team.

“They both share our ethos and have already shown they are prepared to work hard to provide great client service and added value which is aligned with the culture engrained in our team.”
