The team will work with MHA Tait Walker’s newly established Data Insights team, to build on the firm’s existing service offering and help businesses use their data to drive strategy and value.

Lee said: “I love the transactional environment of corporate finance and the varied experience that I have gained over the years plays well into this role. I’ve always been an admirer of MHA Tait Walker and I’m really excited to tap into the expertise they have here and the wider service offering across tax, accountancy and wealth management.”

Steve Plaskitt said: “It’s been a fantastic year for the corporate finance team and it’s been great to work with businesses across the region and help them to achieve their business and personal goals.

“Moving into 2020, we’ll be working with our in-house data insights team even more to really help businesses to understand their financials, drive value and strengthen their business strategy.
