He joins A&M from Deutsche Numis where he was Head of Debt Advisory. Mr Beadle has previously held roles at Terra Firma, Barclays and Rothschild, giving him a unique combination of experience as an adviser, lender and borrower across all debt markets and financing situations

Tim Metzgen, Managing Director and EMEA Head of A&M Debt Advisory, said:

I am excited to join A&M’s highly respected Debt Advisory team to support corporate clients and help drive the practice’s continued growth across Europe. I was especially attracted by A&M’s global platform, which combines an entrepreneurial and agile approach with top quality multi-disciplinary teams.”
