Audit, tax and consulting practice RSM UK has named Joe Barry as restructuring partner to lead its Birmingham restructuring advisory operation.

Barry joins RSM UK from Teneo. He has spent more than 14 years working on restructuring and turnaround assignments.

Additionally, Barry has led teams on engagements across sectors such as construction, property, retail, automotive and maritime.

His experience covers cash flow management, operational change programmes, independent business reviews and insolvency processes.

He has advised clients including multinational retail groups, a major UK energy supplier and an oil refinery business.

RSM UK restructuring partner Damian Webb said: “We are delighted to have Joe onboard to lead our Birmingham restructuring advisory team.

“His extensive background in successfully executing restructuring projects across a range of industries will be a valued addition to the firm, and places him in a strong position to drive growth both regionally and nationally.”

In his new position at RSM UK, Barry will oversee the development of the company’s restructuring advisory offering in Birmingham.

He will target larger, more complex mandates and work to strengthen links with the practice’s national restructuring team.

Barry said: “I was drawn to RSM for its ambition, people and culture. It is an exciting time for the firm’s restructuring team as it grows and evolves, and continues to win larger, more complex mandates across the UK.

“I am looking forward to strengthening the firm’s restructuring advisory services in Birmingham and establishing a regional powerhouse to build upon the success and impressive track record of the national restructuring team.”

In December last year, RSM UK appointed Chris Robson as its new employment tax partner and national Fair Pay lead.
