David Cocker

Director

I am passionate about working with Directors to turnaround their business. I believe a well-structured turnaround delivers the best outcome for all parties.

David has over 20 years’ commercial, professional and restructuring experience with expertise in transport & logistics, hospitality, retail, financial services and insurance.

David specialises in business turnaround and corporate recovery. In all engagements he works with the management team to identify key changes required for a business to return to viability. He takes a proactive approach to working with the Director to assist with change implementation.

David has provided an extensive range of restructuring and reconstruction services to corporate clients using Safe Harbour and the voluntary administration (“VA”), deed of company arrangement (“DOCA”) processes. His focus is always to find a commercial outcome for all stakeholders.

Outside of work, David enjoys traveling to discover new countries and cultures, he runs global marathons and cycles most weekends.
