HMT appoints Ricky Lane as Partner 

HMT is delighted to announce that Ricky Lane has been appointed a Partner with immediate effect. Ricky is a corporate finance specialist with over 15 years’ experience and has been working in our lead advisory team since joining HMT in July 2017. 

Ricky trained at Grant Thornton, in the Thames Valley practice, with experience in audit, recovery and reorganisation and transactional due diligence before starting his corporate finance career.  

Ricky left Grant Thornton in June 2017 to join HMT as an Associate Director and he was promoted to Director in 2019. Since joining, Ricky has worked on a significant number of sell-side, fund raising and buy-side transactions helping entrepreneurs create and realise value in their own businesses. This includes a significant amount of private equity and debt fund raising either for management teams seeking to undertake an MBO or owner managers looking to both derisk and raise growth capital.  

Ricky’s appointment as a partner, working alongside Andrew Thomson, Wendy Hart and Paul Read strengthens our position as a leading corporate finance advisor in the Thames Valley and South-East of England.  

Andrew Thomson commented: 

“Both on personal and professional level, it has been extremely rewarding to watch Ricky’s career progression since he joined HMT in 2017 culminating with his admission to the partnership. Ricky shares our drive and passion to deliver an optimal outcome for all our clients and should be congratulated for hitting this well-deserved milestone” 

Ricky Lane commented: 

“I am delighted that Andrew, Paul and Wendy have invited me to become a Partner at HMT. Whilst obviously an important personal milestone, I believe this is a testament to the strength of our team, the trust of our clients, and the firm’s continued strong performance in the corporate finance market.
