Azets strengthens Yorkshire corporate finance team

Azets has expanded its corporate finance team in Yorkshire with the appointment of Iffy Hussein as partner in its Leeds office.

With over 13 years’ experience at EY and PwC, Iffy has advised privately owned and private equity-backed businesses across M&A, specialising in business services and TMT.

Iffy said: “It is an exciting time to join Azets as the company continues on its impressive national and international growth journey.

“Azets is at the forefront of significant structural change within the accountancy sector, where firms with good people, investment and technological capability are growing rapidly and increasing market share.

“Despite an improving economic landscape with lower interest rates and strong liquidity in debt markets and across private equity, the geopolitical landscape remains a challenge for many businesses.

“Businesses require support and advice throughout their journey, with the right advice from the right professional key to an optimum outcome.

“With its national and international strength and local focus, Azets is able to provide that support and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to play my part.”

Iffy’s appointment follows recent hires Joshua Wright and Adam Mulla, as Azets continues to grow its corporate finance offering across Yorkshire and the UK.

UK head of corporate finance Lee Humble added: “Iffy’s extensive experience supporting a range of businesses through all aspects of corporate finance will be an asset to our team – in Leeds and right across the UK. 

“We’ve advised and closed a significant number of deals this year despite the M&A market being one of the most turbulent in recent memory. 

“I’m confident that figure will continue to increase now Iffy has joined us.”
