Logan Mantle joins Leonard Curtis to lead corporate development

Leonard Curtis has appointed its first head of corporate development to drive M&A, partnerships and strategic growth. Logan Mantle joins the firm with more than 15 years of experience in the space.

Mantle said via a LinkedIn post with over 200 likes and comments from colleagues and well-wishers, “I’m delighted to share that I’m starting a new position as head of corporate development at Leonard Curtis! Looking forward to driving M&A, partnerships, and strategic growth alongside a highly regarded team in the business advisory space.”

Headquartered in Manchester, Leonard Curtis is a team of over 300 financial, legal and business experts, operating across the UK and offshore. The company works to help clients find positive and practical solutions through our five service pillars: restructuring and insolvency, funding, legal, business services and M&A advisory.

Mantle brings significant knowhow to the business, including an eight-year spell in the corporate finance advisory team at Deloitte. His expertise includes acquisitions, disposals, buyouts, finance raising, and strategic reviews and extends to advising on cross-border transactions, including those in North America and Europe.

Leonard Curtis COO David Brown remarked, “Logan has all the skills we need to lead a proactive programme of M&A and other strategic partnership activity to scale our business and achieve our goals. He is familiar with working at the highest level and in a private-equity backed environment with all the opportunities that provides. He has already hit the ground running on the brief, and we look forward to working with him.”

Pollen Street Capital took a majority stake in Leonard Curtis last August with a key focus on M&A to meet ambitious expansion targets. The group’s acquisition activity will be focused on its restructuring and insolvency, legal and funding service lines.
