Glasgow-based turnaround consultancy BRS secures key appointment
Glasgow-based business turnaround consultancy BRS has bolstered its top team after appointing Anthony Allen as group business development manager.
He will be responsible for driving growth across the firm’s three core service division s–BR S Consulting, BRS
Credit Management and BR S Capital–supporting distressed small and medium-sized enterprises (SMES) “when they most need it”.
Allen is a former banker with extensive experience in the financial services sector. He joins BRS from Lending Crowd where he was responsible for development of SME lending, and prior to that he was in business development with Barclays Bank and Clydesdale Bank owner CYBG.
Danny Jamie son, man aging director of BRS Corporate S er vices Group, said: “With the UK entering recession, and HMRC once again a preferred creditor, we are already experiencing an increase in enquiries from businesses seeking help.
“This is a key strategic appointment. Anthony is a skilled negotiator with an excellent track record in relationship management and has achieved some truly outstanding results throughout his career.
“He brings experience in risk and change management to the role and will be an asset to our team, and to our clients.”
Allen said: “I have worked in financial services lending for 14 years, helping businesses to secure the commercial finance they need to survive and grow.
“During lock down I was working with businesses to provide advice and support when no-one else was able to. It made me realise that many firms don’t have the right people to help them when they are in financial distress, and don’t know who to turn to, and I know I can make a difference.”
