Corporate Finance and Peer to Peer Funding
David qualified as a chartered accountant in 1989, having gained experience in one of the “big 4” accounting practices, David then specialised in Corporate Finance for a National accounting practice, looking after funding requirements from the client base across various Midlands offices.
Having utilised the services of brokers whilst in a “corporate finance arena”, David saw the merit in putting together such a business in order to access many forms of funding and to bring brokerage into the professional arena.

Tony has over 39 years of Banking, Corporate Finance and advisory experience gained in the Corporate Finance divisions of the High Street Banks, a specialist Growth and Corporate Finance Lender and the Lead Advisory within a national accountancy firm.
Tony is eager to add to the Corporate Finance capability at Sterling and add his own skills and experience to the team. He also has experience of the Commercial Finance Broking arena and enjoys assisting clients with all funding requirements, not just in MBOs and Acquisitions.
He is well known in the Leicestershire Business locality and is a keen networker and accomplished connector of businesses, to specialist advisors and professionals. We welcome the opportunity to strengthen the Sterling offering into Leicestershire.
Tony is slightly concerned that, unlike many in the office, he is not a Nottingham Forest fan. Living in Leicestershire, Rugby is his preferred spectator sport, and he is a long-served season ticket holder at the Tigers.
