PKF Smith Cooper strengthens Restructuring practice with Lucinda Matkin

PKF Smith Cooper has strengthened its Restructuring team in the East Midlands with Lucinda Matkin, who has been appointed as Director.

Lucinda Matkin joins the firm with over 25 years of experience in the industry, including five years at Big Four firm PwC and spells at Kroll (then Duff & Phelps) and RSM.

Since establishing LM Insolvency in 2012, Matkin has led her own specialist recovery and turnaround firm, providing services to both individuals and companies across a variety of industries. She has worked on insolvency and restructuring projects across all business sizes and sectors.

On her new challenge, Matkin commented: “I’m delighted to be joining PKF Smith Cooper. Having spent over a decade running my own boutique insolvency practice, I’m excited to bring that same personal, empathetic approach to a larger, highly respected firm with extended expertise and resources.”

“My priority has always been to support business owners and individuals through difficult financial situations with clarity, dignity and compassion. Joining the team at PKF Smith Cooper allows me to continue doing exactly that, while also offering clients the wider capabilities, depth of specialism and collaborative strength that a larger advisory practice provides.”

“This move represents a fantastic opportunity to combine the best of both worlds; the personal service and understanding of a small practice, with the technical capability and scale of a leading firm. I look forward to continuing my work helping clients navigate challenges and achieve the best possible outcomes.”

Dean Nelson, Partner in the Business Recovery and Restructuring practice, commented: “We are thrilled to welcome Lucinda to the firm. Her extensive experience within the industry will be a great asset to the team.”

In the Midlands, PKF Smith Cooper operates with offices Derby, Nottingham, Birmingham, Ashbourne, Telford, Worcester, and Hereford.
