David Grassby

Director

I have spent the majority of my career in Debt Advisory after qualifying at Deloitte. Over the years, I have transacted a number of deals, originated work, and developed relationships with key private equity houses and lenders in the North West region. I provide independent advice to mid-market companies undergoing debt-raising or refinancing exercises.
