Nigel, originally from Burnley, built up his knowledge and expertise following 16 years of working for a business brokerage in Spain.

Nigel Fitzpatrick added: “I’m thrilled to be working at Hilton Smythe and adding my expertise to a growing team that will thrive in years to come.”

Also, with experience working abroad, Debbie, from Rochdale, joins Hilton Smythe after successfully leading a team in Dubai.

Debbie Power said: “Since leaving university, I have taken on many different roles. Advising a business on its sales strategy is a real strength of mine.

“A friend recommended Hilton Smythe and told me about its new corporate division, which immediately appealed to me – so here I am!”

Gareth Smyth, CEO of Hilton Smythe, said: “We are delighted to welcome Debbie and Nigel to our growing corporate team.

“Investing in these two big hires, symbolises our commitment to extending our transactional services to larger organisations wishing to acquire or dispose of their business

“Despite our further expansion into the small-cap market, we will continue to provide our existing services to micro businesses, which we have excelled at for many years.”
