Cooper Parry’s Head of North and Corporate Finance Partner, David Kendrick, has been nominated for the ‘Professional Services Leader’ award at next year’s Leadership Awards.
Taking place at the iconic Midland Hotel in Manchester, on 27 March, the North West business community will get together to celebrate the region’s top business leaders. Hosted by TheBusinessDesk.com, the awards are a great way to recognise those with standout leadership qualities who have made a real difference to their teams.
After UHY Hacker Young Manchester sold the business to Cooper Parry in September 2024 – a deal David led as both UHY’s CEO and a corporate finance specialist – David has now taken the role as Head of North and Corporate Finance Partner at CP.
Working closely with his portfolio of clients, David delivers market-leading advice on accountancy, taxation and corporate finance. He is heavily involved in the deals side of the business, being a lead adviser on over 250 transactions, with estimated transaction proceeds of over £2bn.
He also directs the growth of the 170-strong North West team, strategically, commercially, and personally.
Ade Cheatham, CEO at Cooper Parry, commented:
“Having spent countless hours with David learning about him and his team before they joined CP, I know how well-deserved this nomination is. The team he’s created and the reputation he’s built in the North are exceptional. I can’t wait to see how the next chapter unfolds in 2025 and beyond.”
