Steven Kingham joins as a Managing Director in Manchester as practice scales its offering in the country

London, UK, July 10, 2025 – Leading global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M)’s Global Transaction Advisory Group (Global TAG) announces the appointment of Steven Kingham as a Managing Director based in its Manchester, United Kingdom office. With decades of multi-sector transaction experience, Mr. Kingham will further enhance Global TAG’s transaction advisory capabilities within Northern England and across the wider regional market. Mr. Kingham’s appointment is part of a continued, intentional bolstering of Global TAG’s senior talent in the EMEA region, joining an enviable string of hires including Nigel Hinchliffe in Manchester, Giacomo Giobbi in Milan, Sébastien Catteau in Munich, and Mark Cunanan in London, who leads the practice’s Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) Services.

Mr. Kingham, who spent 11 years at EY and most recently led its Transaction Services team in Manchester, specializes in financial due diligence – advising corporate and private equity clients on acquisitions, disposals, refinancings, carve-outs and cross-border transactions.

With decades of notable software and e-commerce transaction experience, Mr. Kingham will help Global TAG build on its history of helping clients capitalize on synergies across EMEA and leverage local opportunities, with an enhanced focus on the technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) and consumer industries.

Paul Aversano, Managing Director and Global Practice Leader of Global TAG, commented, “Our growing footprint across EMEA is a testament not only to Global TAG – and our wider firm’s – commitment to solving challenges and eyeing opportunities for our clients in the market, but continuing to bring in top market talent to help us execute on this commitment. Expanding our reach in the United Kingdom with unmatched sector expertise like Steven’s allows us to unlock more value for our clients – who, especially in an uncertain market as we have today, continue to seek out A&M for its operational, industry and functional expertise across our globally integrated platform.”

Jonathan Gibbons and Philip Mitchell, Managing Directors and TAG EMEA Practice Co-Leaders, stated, “In value terms, Manchester is one of the most active private equity markets in EMEA. The market is receptive to transaction advisory offerings that are differentiated and add value. Steven’s local track record and specialized transactions expertise allow us an acceleration lane to scale in Manchester. Combined with the experience in advising on large global corporate transactions boasted by our other recently appointed Managing Director in Manchester, Nigel Hinchliffe, we’re poised to develop a deep line of service for clients from Northern England and across the region.”

Reflecting on his new role, Mr. Kingham stated, “A&M has made significant investment in all areas of its Manchester team, where we now have a full-service transaction offering and can support clients across the transaction lifecycle. This investment is a testament to the firm’s ability to challenge conventional approaches. Our talent, breadth of capabilities and ability to deliver actionable results align with my approach for helping private equity and corporate clients create value.”
