Grant Thornton has appointed Simon Davies as a partner in the firm's corporate finance practice taking place with immediate effect. The appointment comes on the back of a record year in 2006, during which the firm advised on 166 corporate finance transactions to the value of £3.4bn.

Davies is uniquely experienced having qualified as a banker in addition to being a corporate financier with over fifteen years of experience. He began his career with a Big 4 firm where he qualified as an accountant before moving on to join Bank of Scotland. He then joined another Big 4 practice and set up a corporate finance team in the Thames Valley before starting his own business – DHD Corporate Finance. This grew to have 13 employees and two offices and was sold in October 2001 to Tenon Group Plc. Based in Southampton and working alongside regional head of corporate finance Adrian Smith, Davies's responsibility will focus on growing Grant Thornton's Corporate Finance offering in the South.
