London, 12 February 2026 - The Debrett’s Advisory team has gathered strong momentum in its London office with the addition of Chris King as Director, Jonathan Gonszor as Principal, and Keith Davies as Deal Origination Director, further enhancing its national advisory offering.

The new hires reflect the ongoing build-out of the Advisory team following the launch of the London office in September and Debrett’s investment in experienced advisers to support founders, shareholders and management teams across the UK mid-market.

Chris King joins as Director, bringing extensive experience advising clients across a range of mid-market transactions. He will play a key role in supporting live mandates and deepening client relationships. Jonathan Gonszor joins as Principal, adding further depth to the team’s deal delivery capability and working closely with senior advisers across active mandates.

Keith Davies joins as Deal Origination Director, bringing a strong track record in originating and developing long-term relationships with business owners and intermediaries. His role enhances the Advisory team’s ability to build relationships with business founders and management teams considering exit, investment or growth through acquisition

The additions further reinforce the Advisory team led by Clive Hatchard, Head of Advisory, and Mark Farlow, Partner, as Debrett’s advances its advisory presence and delivers a consistent, high-quality offering nationally.

Clive Hatchard, Head of Advisory, commented:
“Chris, Jonathan and Keith are excellent additions to the team. Each brings complementary experience that broadens our capability and allows us to support clients thoughtfully and effectively, from early engagement through to completion. These hires reflect our focus on building depth as the business grows.”

The expansion of the Advisory team sits within the wider growth of the Debrett’s Group, which operates across Advisory, Heritage, Coaching and Investments, and recently entered Wealth Management through a strategic partnership with London-based financial planners Mulberry Bow.

The Group is chaired by Darryl Eales and advised by Richard Sanders, Richard Swann and Andrew Blazye, bringing extensive experience across investment, private equity and professional services.
