Quantuma has appointed corporate finance expert, Scott Peters as a managing director. He will head up Quantuma’s Midlands corporate finance and national debt advisory practices.
Managing director and head of corporate finance at Quantuma, Ian Barton, commented, “I am very pleased to welcome Scott to our Corporate Finance business. His arrival adds further senior expertise to our team, as well as adding debt advisory to our developing range of services, enabling us to further to support even more entrepreneurs and business owners. Scott is very well regarded, and we are delighted he is joining us at such an exciting time, as we expand our regional presence.”
Quantuma is a cross-border business advisory firm serving the needs of mid-market and corporate companies, as well as their stakeholders. Founded in 2013, it is headquartered in London, and the company operates from 23 offices across the UK.
Over the last year, the firm has encountered keen demand for its deal advisory service in particular – working on more than 20 deals. With this further geographical expansion, and an even stronger pipeline of deals, Barton added that 2024 was “proving to be busy”, and that as market conditions continue to improve, he expects to further grow the firm’s regional presence “across both our Quantuma and K3 Advantage brands.”
Scott Peters will be based from Quantuma’s premises in Birmingham, and he will also spend time in the firm’s London office. A seasoned corporate finance practitioner, with a background in banking, his experience covers all aspects of corporate finance advice and transaction execution services.
He said of his new challenge, “I am delighted to join Quantuma and to be working with such a strong team, and I welcome the opportunity to play my part in supporting the firm’s ambitious growth plans, and to increasing our capabilities in the region.”
Peters joins from Cattaneo Corporate Finance, where he spent the last five years as a director. He also has senior experience from CYBG and Royal Bank of Scotland – while earlier in his career, he was an analyst at WTW. His appointment adds further depth to Quantuma’s growing corporate finance team and follows the recent appointment of Brian Milne, who joined the firm as a managing director in the firm’s Glasgow office in May 2024. Earlier in the year, the team also added Calvin Bond to its Glasgow wing.
Looking ahead, Peters added, “The funding market has become more complex and there is an increasing need for good quality advice for SMEs, which is still incredibly underserved. Quantuma are well placed to address this need and I am looking forward to working alongside colleagues in Corporate Finance and the West Midlands to deliver for clients both old and new alike.”
