Begbies Traynor promotes two new partners

Corporate rescue and recovery practice Begbies Traynor Group has promoted Laura Baxter and Mike Jenkins to partner, strengthening its senior insolvency and restructuring team across Yorkshire and the Humber.

With nearly 20 years’ combined experience, Laura supports clients across Hull and East Yorkshire, while Mike focuses on York and surrounding areas. 

Both work across a wide range of sectors including manufacturing, hospitality and construction.

Laura said: “There is much positivity across industries in the Hull and Humber region, but there are also many that need support at this time. 

“Due to the opportunities in the region we have been able to see significant success with CVAs and restructuring work, especially for those businesses that get in touch at the first signs of distress. 

“In my new role as partner I am looking forward to continuing to help businesses survive, assist those that need to restructure or refinance and support the continued growth of the Begbies Traynor Group services across the region.” 

Mike added: “York and the surrounding area have always created vibrant, successful businesses and there are some exciting industries cropping up in the region. 

“However, some more traditional sectors do need support and we can help them at this time. 

“We also have the ability to bring in other parts of the Begbies Traynor Group to offer a full range of services including restructure, refinance, revival and growth. 

“This is a very exciting time to be promoted to partner at the firm and help companies across the York region take the next steps in their journey.”

Julian Pitts, Begbies Traynor Group regional managing partner for Yorkshire, added: “Businesses across the region need senior advice to help them make difficult decisions and navigate their way through the current economic climate. 

“Both Laura and Mike have proven time and time again that their guidance and support to businesses is vital. 

“These promotions are richly deserved and I know that the clients they work with on a daily basis appreciate the valuable guidance they offer during times of extreme pressure and distress.”
