Former PHS director Annie Finlayson has joinged AM Services Group as non-executive to support the board’s strategy for high, sustainable growth.
As director of corporate development for PHS, Finlayson led the acquisition and divestment programme, delivering an in-house corporate finance service to the board. She held a consultative and collaborative role as a member of the Executive Committee and was the only member to have achieved this from an entry level employee.
Adrian Cresswell, CEO at AM Services said: “We have been looking for someone who we believe is the right calibre and cultural fit for our business and who has the right experience to help us achieve our exciting goals. We are therefore delighted to announce that Annie has agreed to join us in this role. Annie is highly experienced with proven credentials, gained over many years in the corporate, finance and service sectors, in driving strategic business development through organic and growth and business acquisition. Her negotiation skills are proven alongside her fresh-thinking, consistent results and handling of confidential, controversial or sensitive projects.
Annie commented: “AM Services has been going from strength to strength with the expansion of service lines and expertise through acquisition over the last few years. The future looks bright and I am keen to bring my skills and expertise to help shape this.”
After a successful 14-year career with PHS, Annie became a partner at Gambit Corporate Finance LLP where she was primarily responsible for cradle-to-grave deal generation and deal management. She now works part-time as operating partner at Cairngorm Capital Partners LLP, a private investment firm providing equity capital and management expertise to leading UK companies.
