Evolve Corporate Finance, the national M&A advisory practice, has announced it has opened a new Nottingham office in the heart of the City Centre.

The firm’s new Nottingham premises, located in the Cubo building in Standard Court, will establish the firm’s presence in the city and will serve as a regional hub to enable the team to work closely with the local business and professional community, as well as the wider East Midlands region.

The investment in the new office premises is the latest step in Evolve’s growth strategy as it continues to expand its geographic footprint and corporate finance advisory capabilities, following the appointment of Richard Ellis in a new partner role, who will lead and look to build the firm’s Nottingham team.

Richard Ellis, partner at Evolve Corporate Finance, commented: “Opening an office in Nottingham is a really exciting step for Evolve. The city and wider East Midlands region have a strong and well-connected professional community and having a local presence genuinely matters to both advisers and businesses here. I’m looking forward to leading our Nottingham office, building a team on the ground, and working closely with local entrepreneurs and advisers to support ambitious businesses across the region.”

David Neate, partner at Evolve Corporate Finance, added: “Opening our Nottingham office marks a pivotal moment in our expansion and growth plans. The East Midlands region has an incredibly strong and vibrant business community. We see a significant opportunity for our team to support the region as it goes from strength to strength, and our investment in our new Nottingham office and team reflects this commitment.”
