Dow Schofield Watts has expanded its corporate finance team in Yorkshire and the North East with an appointment.
Mike Barker joined the firm as a partner.

As the levels of fundraising and deal activity remain strong, we plan to continue to invest in and grow our team over the coming year.”
Recent transactions for the corporate finance team have included the sales of Sheffield Forgemasters to the Ministry of Defence, Firesprite Games to Sony Entertainment, Argyll Holidays to Cove Communities and Peak Pipe Systems to SIMONA AG, as well as the refinancing of Carnaby Caravans by Shawbrook and Frontier Development Capital.
