North East-headquartered UNW has expanded its corporate finance offering with the appointment of a senior manager within the growing due diligence team.
Stephen Twaddle joined UNW following eight years at Deloitte where he began his career in audit, before qualifying as a chartered accountant.
During his time there, he developed extensive experience in financial due diligence, working on a wide variety of buy-side and sell-side transactions, as well as refinancing projects.
At UNW, he will play a key role in supporting clients through acquisitions and disposals.
UNW’s due diligence team has completed 14 projects so far this year, with deal values ranging from £1m to £30m and a combined total value of more than £115m.
He said: “UNW’s due diligence offering has gone from strength to strength in recent years, and the opportunity to be part of that growth really excites me.
“The firm’s independence and entrepreneurial spirit create a unique environment where you can make a real difference – supporting businesses both in the region and beyond. I’m looking forward to working with the team to develop the strong due diligence service further and contributing to UNW’s continued success.”
Danny Malone, head of due diligence at UNW, added: “We are delighted to welcome Stephen to UNW. Having joined us from Deloitte, he brings valuable transaction services experience and will further enhance our financial due diligence offering.
“The addition of Stephen to our growing team sends a strong signal about our ambitions and our commitment to placing deliverable quality and client experience front and centre. I look forward to working closely with him as we continue to take UNW’s due diligence service onwards and upwards.”
