Opus expands Manchester team

Opus Business Advisory Group is continuing its growth in Manchester with new hires, a rising caseload and an expanding client base.

The latest addition is Ed Ferguson, who has joined the financial advisory, restructuring and insolvency team from Mazars. 

He brings experience from corporate insolvency cases, including trading administrations and financial advisory work with Deloitte in Australia.

Ed said: “The balance of insolvency and advisory expertise at Opus immediately stood out to me. 

“While many firms focus heavily on one or the other, Opus is building a team capable of delivering both. 

“This enables us to support clients at every stage of the business lifecycle and make a tangible difference. 

“It’s an exciting time to be joining the Manchester office.”

Ed’s appointment underlines Opus’s commitment to supporting North West businesses with specialist advisory and restructuring expertise.

Frank Ofonagoro, partner at Opus and head of the firm’s Manchester office, added: “Manchester has become one of our fastest growing teams, underpinned by a diverse and resilient economy. 

“We’ve invested heavily in building a hub here that can deliver the right blend of financial advisory, restructuring and insolvency expertise, and that strategy is paying off. 

“With businesses facing a challenging climate, the need for practical, pragmatic advice that prioritises business survival and recovery has never been greater.”

Tim Dolder, managing partner, added: “The pace of growth in Manchester underlines the confidence businesses are placing in Opus. 

“By strengthening the team with high-calibre professionals and offering the combination of insolvency and advisory services, we’re ensuring we can meet that demand and continue to support businesses across the region with the right advice at the right time.”
