Darren Hodson, corporate finance partner at PKF Smith Cooper, commented, “We are delighted to welcome Chloe to the team. As market activity continues to strengthen, we have a busy year ahead and Chloe’s experience in advising owner-managed businesses means she will be able to hit the ground running. She will be an invaluable addition to the team.”

PKF Smith Cooper is the home of the global PKF network in the Midlands. As a firm of trusted accountants and business advisors, it operates across key geographies in Derby, Nottingham, Birmingham, and Ashbourne.

The firm’s M&A offering is currently enjoying rising demand. M&A deals rose steadily in 2025, and have seen a rapid expansion in the first quarter of 2026, with experts from WTW suggesting that more is to come in the remaining year.

Last year, PKF Smith Cooper Corporate Finance completed transactions totalling £400 million, with activity spanning a diverse range of sectors including industrials and engineering, professional services, self-storage, and food and beverage.

Fisher strengthens PKF Smith Cooper’s M&A advisory team at this essential moment. With an active pipeline for 2026, the corporate finance wing is building on the momentum of a successful 2025 and expects continued growth across growth investment work, sell-side mandates, debt advisory and acquisition support.

She started her career in audit with a Big Four firm and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2021. She moved into M&A shortly after, advising owner-managed businesses on company sales over the next three years at a boutique corporate finance firm.

On joining, Fisher added, “PKF Smith Cooper has a strong reputation for delivering successful outcomes for owner-managed businesses, and I’m excited to join the Corporate Finance team at a time of growing deal activity. I’m looking forward to working with ambitious management teams across the West Midlands and beyond, providing clear, commercial advice through every stage of a transaction and helping clients achieve the best possible result.”
