Rodney, who joined HNH in 2018, brings more than 25 years of experience in corporate finance and transaction advisory.

Rodney has a solid track record of providing market-leading advice to corporate and private equity clients in the UK, Ireland and internationally.
Specialising in financial due diligence, he has extensive experience supporting businesses and investors through acquisitions, disposals, refinancing and wider strategic growth initiatives. He has worked across a broad range of sectors, delivering buyside, sell-side and refinancing assignments for both entrepreneurial and multinational clients.

His leadership will be instrumental as HNH continues to scale.

“I’m delighted to take on this new role at such an exciting stage in HNH’s growth journey and I look forward to continuing to support clients as they navigate increasingly complex and strategic transactions.”
As Head of Northern Ireland, Rodney will work closely with HNH’s senior leadership team to support the continued growth of the business, deepen client relationships and further strengthen the firm’s market-leading advisory offering.
HNH Partners has continued to experience strong momentum across both its Belfast and Edinburgh offices, advising on a growing number of high-profile transactions involving founder-led businesses, private equity-backed companies, listed corporates and international acquirers.
