Professional services firm Begbies Traynor has promoted Andrew Mackenzie to partner. Based in the firm’s Hull office, he works across the Yorkshire region.
Having joined Begbies Traynor 12 years ago, Mackenzie has led the development of the firm’s East Yorkshire presence following the opening of the Hull office in 2008 and has played a key role in the strategy and development of the firm’s services to lenders across the Yorkshire region.
A qualified insolvency practitioner and accountant with a degree in Accountancy and Finance, Mackenzie previously worked for a range of global accountancy and professional services firms. He has a broad range of experience in corporate rescue and recovery, business investigations, review work and funding solutions.
Julian Pitts, regional managing partner for Begbies Traynor in Yorkshire, says: “With his strong track record in providing refinancing and insolvency advice, Andrew is a well-known figure in the East Yorkshire business community. This promotion is well deserved recognition of the vital role he has played in growing our presence in the Humber region.”
Mackenzie says: “Having moved to larger offices in the redeveloped marina area just over four years ago, our team has continued to expand and we have established ourselves as the leading independent rescue, recovery and advisory firm in Hull and across the whole of the county.
“Given the ongoing uncertainty around Brexit, interest rates and the changing shape of the high street, businesses are likely to face some tough times ahead and it’s more important than ever that they are able to access expert advice they can trust.”
