Tony Groom CTP

Tony has been a turnaround professional for twenty years implementing the financial and strategic restructuring of SME businesses to improve cash flow, organise the business for profits and lay foundations for growth. Tony brings an understanding of business as a director and shareholder of the many business turnarounds in which he has invested.

Tony's expertise is in helping directors and shareholders resolve their company's immediate financial problems while at the same time developing a strategy for future growth; he sees the big picture but also deals with the minutiae. He has considerable experience of saving business that other advisers think are too far gone, such as those with winding up petitions or where the bank has called in a loan.

Tony also specialises in resolving union-led industrial negotiations when a company's survival is threatened by employee action.

After serving as a Captain in the British Army, Tony went to London Business School in 1989. Tony chairs and presents at a number of annual restructuring, turnaround and asset management conferences in the UK and Europe and has lectured extensively over the past 15 years on corporate recovery to lawyers, accountants and at several business schools.

He is also director and past President of the Turnaround Management Association UK. He is also a Certified Turnaround Professional (CTP) and member of the European Association of Certified Turnaround Professionals (EACTP).
