Helen Wheeler-Jones Director Leicester +44 (0)121 232 5130

I am a director, passionately driving the firm’s growth plans. I am predominantly based in Leicester and Nottingham, but also work with clients and funders in Birmingham, as well as the wider East Midlands region.

I work with clients in a variety of sectors specialising in complex turnaround scenarios, most notably in leisure, wholesale, financial services, manufacturing and healthcare. I have worked on a number of complex transactions, delivering value for a range of stakeholders.

My recent assignments include:

Advising Metalysis Limited a company which was developing a new innovative and environmentally friendly scientific process – this was a complex case with a number of stakeholders, yet we achieved a sale of the business as a going concern enabling this technology to be taken to market
Leading the trading administration of HPI Ltd which resulted in a sale of the business and assets that restored the company to solvency and a financial return to the shareholder – our team won the medium Corporate Rescue of the Year award in 2016 for this turnaround, at the Turnaround, Restructuring and Insolvency (TRI) Awards
Advising on the restructuring of the All Leisure Group which required the sale of a package holiday company preserving holidays and the realisation of cruise ships

I have an audit background and am ACA qualified. I have worked in restructuring since 2008, passing my JIEB exams in 2011, winning awards for the highest placed candidate and highest personal insolvency score in that year.

Outside of work I like to spend time with my family, reading, eating and cooking.
