Goodman was previously chief executive of BridgeBank.
Former BridgeBank chief executive Laurence Goodman has returned to the industry to head up The Fiducia Group’s newly launched Fiducia Corporate Finance.
This is to provide a bespoke corporate service for debt and equity fund raising for entrepreneurs and companies.
Goodman (pictured) is a well-known corporate finance specialist of over 35 years.
Goodman said of his appointment: “The opportunities presented by The Fiducia Group are huge as it enters into this new, exciting phase of growth.
“The corporate finance market is one that is underserved and which will complement the other services provided by Fiducia.
“I have known Marcus for many years and have the highest respect for his professionalism and expertise.
“I am looking forward to working alongside him and his team to develop this business into a leading corporate finance advisory practice.”
Marcus Grimshaw, chief executive of The Fiducia Group, added: “The Fiducia Group offers a wide range of financial solutions.
“I am extremely proud to announce we now offer an additional Corporate Financial service that strengthens our proposition even further.
“As deal sizes grow so do the complexities of the transactions.
“As a result, clients’ requirements evolve to consider private investors, family offices or institutional funders and a corporate finance solution needs to be made available.
“The Fiducia Corporate Finance division is a natural addition to our long-established commercial finance brokerage and continues to set us apart from our competitors.
“We are proud to be different and that we have someone of Laurence’s calibre joining us to lead this division.”
