Turnaround and restructuring community on song with Saint Nick Awards

Date: 18 December 07

Hundreds of people gathered last night (Monday 17 December 2007) to recognise the excellent work carried out by professionals in the turnaround and restructuring community in Yorkshire. The Saint Nick Awards raised more than £10,000 for charity as well as providing an excellent networking opportunity and a cracking night out for the 300 who attended.

Last year's inaugural Saint Nick event, also in Leeds, was attended by more than 300 professionals from across the industry and raised over £5,000 for CRISIS, the charity for the homeless. This year the event collected over £10,000 for Jane's Appeal, established by the late Jane Tomlinson CBE to raise funds for children's and cancer charities.

Key participants in the turnaround and restructuring community from bankers to PAs picked up 15 awards in a fun-filled event at the new OK Karaoke bar in Leeds. The event was organised by Endless LLP, the private investment vehicle which supports UK-headquartered buyouts and turnarounds with equity and debt injections.

Garry Wilson, Partner and co-founder of Endless, said: "Saint Nick's gets better and better - the awards are great fun and show the strength and generosity of the turnaround and restructuring professionals, a community which normally does a lot of great work behind the scenes to save companies and jobs without much public recognition."
