Tom Jack, of Ernst & Young, was victorious as turnaround professional of the year at last night's Endless Saint Nick Turnaround Awards. More than 300 professionals attended the ceremony at the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry.
Warwick Ley, partner at Endless, said: "Yet again, the North West turnaround and restructuring community has continued to be at the forefront of helping rescue many businesses of all shapes and sizes.
"The Saint Nick Awards recognises this, and we would like to congratulate the winners and nominees on their success."
A total of £5,000 was also raised for charity with the Wood Street Mission, a registered children's charity in the centre of Manchester, and the Turnaround Foundation – a charity established in 2010 by the partners at Endless, set to benefit.
