Brett works with owner-managed and SME businesses to help them plan, negotiate and complete transactions with confidence.

Based in Manchester, Brett leads bk plus’ Deal Advisory activity across the North, supporting business owners through acquisitions, disposals, growth funding and strategic change. His focus is on clear advice, honest conversations and outcomes that work for the people behind the business, not just the deal itself.

He helps business owners make sense of complex situations and stay in control throughout the process.

Brett has advised businesses across sectors including technology, e-commerce, professional services and international services. His experience spans early-stage growth through to mid-market transactions, including private equity investment, cross-border deals and buy-and-build strategies.

At bk plus, Brett works closely with colleagues across tax, audit and advisory to provide joined-up support. This means clients benefit from local relationships, backed by the wider strength of the firm, with the right people involved at the right time.

Brett is known for being approachable, responsive and straight-talking. Clients value his ability to explain things clearly, keep momentum in a transaction and remain focused on what matters most to them.
