FOLLOWING Lambert Smith Hampton’s (LSH) investment in Ryden, the two businesses have announced the launch of an ‘enhanced’ restructuring and corporate recovery offering across Scotland.
The expanded service combines Ryden’s Scottish market presence and property advisory track record with LSH’s UK-wide corporate recovery, plant and machinery capabilities.
Designed for insolvency practitioners, restructuring accountants, and legal professionals, the unified service aims to provide a complete, single-source solution to manage, value, repurpose, and realise distressed assets.
While Ryden has advised on distressed assets and corporate recovery instructions for decades, the formal integration with LSH’s national asset advisory & corporate recovery division is said to provide an ‘unmatched’ end-to-end service suite.
The combined team covers the full spectrum of industrial and commercial asset classes, including manufacturing, industrial & logistics, agriculture, food processing, renewables, construction, life sciences, healthcare, hotels & leisure, retail, and data infrastructure.
David Fraser, partner in residential investment & development at Ryden, said, “By bringing together Ryden’s on-the-ground Scottish market expertise with LSH’s national machinery and business assets team, we offer a genuine single-source solution. When insolvency practitioners engage us early in the lifecycle, they no longer need to coordinate disparate advisors for property, plant, clearance, and planning. We deliver a coordinated, asset-driven strategy that preserves equity and delivers optimum realisations for creditors.”
Michael Booth, head of asset advisory at LSH, added, “With escalating operational costs and supply chain strains continuing to place acute pressure on manufacturing, logistics, and engineering businesses, having a specialist team that understands the value of all asset classes and the ability to realise that value is vital. Our partnership with Ryden bridges the gap between local market intelligence in Scotland and national recovery reach.”
