July 23, 2024 - HURSTMember firm HURST has bolstered its corporate finance practice amid a buoyant deals market with the appointment of Luc Couvava.

HURST has strengthened its corporate finance practice amid a buoyant deals market by appointing Luc Couyava as a corporate finance executive, who will provide advice and support to clients across a range of sectors and transactions. Before joining HMT, Luc worked at MHA Moore and Smalley in Preston and then at south west practice Hazlewoods.
The eight-strong team of M&A experts, supported by over 100 HURST colleagues in business services, tax and digital teams, focuses on advising owner-managed companies and entrepreneurs on acquisitions, sales, debt funding and private equity investments with transaction values of £5m-£30m.
Luc’s appointment also comes as HURST Corporate Finance unveils a dedicated website to highlight its position as a boutique offering with the strapline ‘Your Future. Our Focus’. The new website explains the team’s mission as ‘path makers’ – to guide, protect and inspire business owners and entrepreneurs through the deals that will help them to realise their life’s work.
“Luc is a motivated and focused professional and we are thrilled to welcome him to the team. We know that his recent deal experience will be invaluable to clients. His appointment and our recent office move demonstrate our commitment to maintaining the growth of our corporate finance business. We’ve continued to expand by providing owner-managed businesses and entrepreneurs with compelling advice as they consider their plans for the future." Nigel Barratt, head of Corporate Finance. HURST
