Finance Director Appointment at GS Verde Group

The GS Verde Group has appointed a new finance director for the corporate finance led, multi-discipline group.

Neil Creswell has spent the last ten years in a senior role, heading up the business services department at UHY Hacker Young, and advising some of Wales’ fastest growing businesses.

In his new role, he will have responsibility for the group’s financial strategic direction.

The senior appointment will also see Creswell joining the group’s board at a time that has seen the business make several senior appointments as it continues to increase its management team to meet its plan for growth via a buy and build strategy in Wales and the South West of England, while continuing with its year-on-year organic growth.

Creswell said: “Having worked with the group for many years, I have enjoyed seeing its innovative approach and how the impressively integrated businesses have succeeded in driving significant growth. The future looks exciting with some great opportunities to take the group to the next level, and I cannot wait to be a part of it.”

The appointment is one of many announcements expected during 2021 for the GS Verde Group, and follows the recently reported acquisition of Bristol based accountancy practice Astrum, and the integration of Dragonfly Marketing.

Nigel Greenaway, chief executive of the GS Verde Group, said: “I am looking forward to working with Neil and delighted to welcome him to the GS Verde Group.   We know he has tremendous knowledge and experience and will be a great asset to the group.”

The GS Verde Group is looking to exceed £4m in revenue in 2021 and develop its team to over 60 employees from the current 42, over the financial year.

Greenaway added: “We are building momentum and have ambition to grow our business further both in terms of our senior team and widening our multi-disciplinary offering.  Neil’s appointment comes at an exciting time for us and will play an important part in our plans for the future.”
