 PKF further strengthens its Corporate Recovery team
5 September 2011: PKF Accountants & business advisers has hired Penny Cassell as a director in its Corporate Recovery & Insolvency practice.
A Fellow of the Institute of Accountants and a Licensed Insolvency Practitioner, Penny specialises in cases under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, Criminal Justice Act 1988, Drug Trafficking Act 1984 and court appointments pursuant to litigation and fraud investigations.
Penny has acted in a wide range of receivership cases, including trading and non-trading management and interim receiverships, and simple and complex enforcement receiverships. During 2007 Penny was seconded to the Asset Recovery Unit at the Serious Fraud Office.
Commenting on the appointment, Ian Gould – national head of Corporate Recovery & Insolvency at PKF – said: “Penny is a valuable addition to our team. We look forward to applying her wealth of experience for the benefit of our clients."
“Penny’s arrival – and the recent appointment of former Chelsea Football Club chief executive Trevor Birch as head of London Corporate Recovery & Insolvency – is an important part of PKF’s plans to continue to develop its corporate recovery practice.”
Penny Cassell said: “I’m delighted to be joining an ambitious and fast growing team at such an interesting time for the corporate recovery industry.”
Penny is a regular presenter to law enforcement agencies and a contributory author to ‘Fraud: Law, Practice and Procedure’ and ‘Asset Recovery in Insolvency’. She is also an active member of the Fraud Advisory Panel working group on Asset Recovery.
