A Blackburn accountancy and business firm has appointed a new manager.

PM+M, which is based in Greenbank Technology Park, Challenge Way, has strengthened its corporate finance team following the appointment of Ryan Bilsborough as a manager.

In his new role, Ryan will be working across all aspects of corporate finance, with a particular focus on mergers and acquisitions.

Ryan has extensive experience acting for vendors, so will be preparing businesses for sale, producing realistic and achievable valuations, developing confidential marketing strategies and handling all negotiations with the primary goal of always maximising shareholder value.

He will also be heavily involved in developing acquisition strategies, advising clients on formulating offers, engaging in negotiations, assisting in due diligence activities and providing post-acquisition support.

David Gorton, partner at PM+M, said: “Ryan is a fantastic addition to our corporate finance offering and will, I’m sure, further strengthen our position as one of the leading accountancy and corporate finance adviser practices - both in Lancashire and across the North West.”

Ryan has worked in the finance sector for seven years and has joined PM+M from 6G Internet Limited which is headquartered in Burnley.

He said: “PM+M is an all-encompassing accountancy and business support service firm so having access to my new colleagues’ expertise and experience without the need to out-source will prove invaluable.

"I am now looking forward to playing my part in growing our reach and delivering for our existing client base.”
