He brings expertise in private equity investment, transaction execution and strategic advisory, having previously held roles at Mazars, Deloitte, BDO and private equity house Foresight.
Dom will support business owners and management teams across the North East, while also working with clients nationwide.
He said: “I’m passionate about building strong long-term relationships with business owners and management teams, helping them navigate important strategic decisions with confidence.
“Azets has a highly regarded corporate finance team with real momentum in the market, and I’m excited to contribute to its continued growth.”
Dom’s appointment follows the arrival of Ben Hick to Azets’ Leeds corporate finance team earlier this year and supports the firm’s continued investment in its UK corporate finance offering, which advised on 124 disclosed deals during 2025.
Lee Humble, Azets UK head of corporate finance, added: “A very warm welcome to Dom who further strengthens the considerable depth and expertise of our team.
“He is the latest high calibre hire as we continue to expand to fulfil growing demand and build upon an exceptional 12 months, which has seen us recognised in the North East and nationally as one of the most active advisors despite the challenges facing the market.”
