Further expansion at APDSI

This latest appointment builds on the expertise already offered by existing Board members including recently appointed Mark Beesley along with credit industry compliance expert, Alasdair Warwood, Secretary General of the Association, Kevin Still, a Director of the Pentagon Group and Melanie Giles, a licensed Insolvency Practitioner with specific expertise in dealing with financially distressed consumers.

Alasdair Warwood said:

“We are committed to building the scope of the expertise and geographic coverage offered by the Board. Andrew Bowers’ appointment really demonstrates this as we cement our position as the key body that brokers and intermediaries can turn to when offering debt solutions to financially disadvantaged clients.

"Andrew brings extensive experience in saving businesses and jobs which will prove highly valuable to our members and which is very relevant in the current economic climate.”

Andrew Bowers is a Fellow of the Association of Business Recovery Professionals and the Insolvency Practitioners Association and a Certified Fraud Examiner.

He brings over 20 years’ experience in the insolvency profession including international corporate recovery through major assignments in Spain, Jamaica and Thailand.  Andrew’s specialist areas of expertise are in personal insolvency, financial restructuring, raising finance and developing turnaround strategies.

Andrew Bowers comments:

“I am joining the Board of APDSI at a key point as our awareness steps up a gear through a range of regional events around the UK. Intermediaries face a challenging regulatory environment at a time when the demand for debt advice and assistance is high. 

"The expertise offered by APDSI will be of great advantage, helping brokers and intermediaries make compliant referrals and introductions to licensed and competent debt solution providers.”
