Bishop Fleming Appoints Tom Ayerst as Advisory Partner in Bristol
UK-based accounting firm Bishop Fleming has appointed Tom Ayerst as an advisory partner at its Bristol office. In this role, he will lead the Transaction Services team and oversee due diligence work expansion following recent appointments in Birmingham. Ayerst brings over three decades of experience from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), where he specialized in financial due diligence and transactions. Ayerst's appointment marks his 60th partner at Bishop Fleming, reflecting the firm’s broader investment strategy to strengthen its advisory team ahead of further partner appointments by year-end. Charles Davey, Bishop Fleming’s advisory head, highlighted Ayerst’s deep experience and regional market knowledge as key assets for supporting lower mid-market businesses and investors in transactions. This move aligns with increased investor activity in the South West region's mid and lower mid-market sectors, where experienced advisors are increasingly sought after.
