Deloitte, the business advisory firm, has announced today the appointment of three senior positions within their securitisation group. Louise Gill, Clare Randall and James Brighton have joined from KPMG as senior managers in the practice. The new hires will further strengthen the existing senior team of Dan Keeble, Simon Stephens and Kim Scerrato.

David Barnes, partner in charge of Securitisation at Deloitte, commented: "We continue to build our practice by responding to market demand and ensuring we continue to offer the best service to our clients.  Louise, James and Clare bring a wealth of knowledge to our team and will help us deliver the best advice and service on securitisation transactions. These appointments take our team to thirty five people and we are expecting this number to grow further before the end of the year."

Louise Gill, one of the new senior managers added: "Following a 50% growth in European issuance in 2006 this market is set to grow further in 2007.  Quality of service and specialist industry knowledge are of paramount importance in this industry and it’s great to join a team which so clearly has these things at the top of their agenda. The skills we will bring compliment those already at Deloitte and the result will be a very powerful proposition which I am excited to be a part of."
