Founded in 2003, SIA Group has developed a client base in asset-based lending and corporate restructuring, “providing asset-focused solutions” across valuation and sales. The firm employs over 85 asset specialists operating in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow.
The acquisition is expected to enhance both firms’ service offerings to asset-based lenders, banks, financial sponsors, restructuring and turnaround professionals, and public and private sector organisations.
The combined business will be led by Paul Craig, SIA Group’s Managing Director, and Matt Earl, SIA Group‘s operations director. The team will continue to operate under the Gordon Brothers brand.
Mark Newton-Jones, Head of Europe, the Middle East and Africa at Gordon Brothers, said the move expands the group’s geographical reach and asset expertise. “This significant expansion of the team will not only give our combined businesses a wider geographical footprint, but also deepen asset expertise across many more business sectors to provide market-leading valuation, advisory, lending and trading solutions to both new and existing clients.”
