Ensors takes number of partners to 21 with Simon Martin promotion
The promotion follows another successful year for the firm after its recent expansion into Norfolk via a new central Norwich office and several other senior leadership appointments. After joining Ensors in 2014 as Assistant Manager, Simon quickly became an integral part of the team and progressed to become Associate Partner of the Corporate Finance and Forensics department in 2022.
He is a highly respected authority on all Corporate Finance matters within the sector; taking on a variety of large-scale and complex advisory projects for clients including business sales and acquisitions, Management Buy Outs and By Ins (MBO/MBI) and Employee Ownership Trusts.
His talent and reputation have been recognised by his industry peers, subsequently winning the regional Insider Media Emerging Dealmaker of the Year in 2021. He is a Practicing Associate of the Academy of Experts and undertakes business valuations when called upon as a Single Joint Expert Witness for court cases. He also sits on the board of the Network of Independent Forensic Accountants.
In addition to his work in Corporate Finance, Simon supports the Ensors Business Recovery team, working alongside the firm’s licensed insolvency practitioners on a number of high profile and sensitive cases.
He now co-leads the Ensors Corporate Finance and Forensics team with the department’s founder and fellow Partner, David Scrivener, who said: “I have had the pleasure of working closely with Simon since he joined the firm nearly 10 years ago and we share the same passion for helping local business owners complete what is often the most significant financial transaction they will ever be involved in – buying or selling a business.
“The role requires technical skill but also the ability to help our clients navigate the emotional rollercoaster that M & A deals create. His recent promotion will propel the team in the direction of our joint vision and will open up a number of new opportunities for the department.”
Ensors is a leading firm with over 130 years’ experience and seven office locations spanning from London to Norwich and Huntingdon.
