RG - Ryecroft Glenton

Ryecroft Glenton Corporate Finance (RGCF) has further strengthened its senior team with the appointment of new Corporate Finance Director Jen Bassyouni.

Joining Newcastle-based RGCF from Deloitte in London, Jen has almost a decade of corporate finance experience providing transactional advice and support to shareholders of privately owned businesses, corporates and PE funds.

Jen is the second new CF Director to join RGCF in recent weeks, following on from Alex Simpson rejoining the firm from Mercia in April, bolstering the high level of senior expertise at the national corporate finance boutique and its reputation in the M&A market.

Originally from Canada, Jen entered the sector as a Manager in the Finance Transformation division of Deloitte in Alberta. She moved to the UK with Deloitte in 2018 as a Senior Manager in the firm’s M&A Accounting Advisory team, subsequently being promoted to Assistant Director in the firm’s Valuations and Modelling team in 2022.

During her career with Deloitte, Jen supported and facilitated acquirer and vendor negotiations for transactions in sectors such as luxury consumer goods, retail and technology, in the UK and internationally.

Jen’s expertise and established reputation in the M&A sector further enhances RGCF’s team, which is made up of more than 20 corporate finance, Finance/Tax DD and transactional tax specialists and is planning to continue to grow in the coming months.

Jen Bassyouni said: “I am very excited by this new opportunity to join an agile, driven CF boutique, which has built a superb track record for the delivery of significant M&A transactions and exceptional advice for its clients. After several years of working in London, I’m really looking forward to being part of a team based in Newcastle, that advises clients nationally, and experiencing life and work in a new part of the UK.”

Carl Swansbury, Partner and Head of Corporate Finance at RGCF, said: “Attracting a CF professional of Jen’s standing and experience demonstrates RGCF’s burgeoning reputation in the UK M&A market. She is hugely talented and a perfect addition to our talented and driven team who thrive from providing top flight, specialist CF advice and guidance to our clients.

“Alongside Jen and Alex, we are welcoming further experienced people to RGCF and expect to make more appointments shortly as we continue to scale RGCF and deliver an outstanding pipeline of transactions on behalf of our clients throughout this year and beyond.”
