Jamie Beaumont joins David Phillips from Hawkpoint, an independent corporate financial advisory group. Prior to Hawkpoint, Jamie had a successful career at UBS specialising in Mergers and Acquisitions, having trained in accountancy at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
"I am delighted to have joined the David Phillips Group at such an exciting time", said Jamie.

Ed Grant started his career in financial services at the Willis Group, and then became joint founder and investor in The Vocal Rooms, a start-up set up to take advantage of the growing private singing market.
