Barclays names regional corporate head
A SPECIALIST in restructuring, accountancy and insolvency has joined the regional team of audit, tax and consulting firm RSM.
As a partner, Tyrone Courtman, pictured, will grow and strengthen its restructuring advisory operation in the East Midlands.
He will be based at RSM’s Leicester and Nottingham offices.
Most recently he was a managing director with Duff & Phelps in Birmingham and was previously a partner at Cooper Parry, in Castle Donington.
RSM said the appointment marks another step in the firm’s bid to expand its national network of restructuring practitioners.

A LONG-STANDING and respected member of the Leicester business community has been made Barclays’ head of corporate banking for the Midlands.
Keith Ross will lead a 30-strong team of relationship directors who look after corporate clients with a turnover in excess of £6.5 million.
Keith managed a chemical manufacturing business after graduating.
He joined the financial services sector in 2004, and has held a number of roles, including trade director and relationship director.
He joined Barclays in 2011, originally as a relationship director, before leading the East Midlands corporate team from 2013.
He said: “It is an honour and privilege to have been asked to lead the Midlands region and I am really looking forward to playing my part in continuing to support businesses across the region to ensure they continue to be successful.
“Covid-19 has undoubtedly changed the macro-economic landscape but I am genuinely proud of the level of support Barclays has extended to its client base through the various government schemes.
“As of this week, this represents over £19 billion of new and additional funding, nationally, as a consequence of the pandemic.”
“This is also a tremendously challenging time for businesses across the region, and I’m confident Tyrone will play a massive role in supporting RSM’s clients through the ongoing crisis and beyond.”
