Expert corporate finance advice

Philip Mettam


I joined Meridian in Autumn 2010 as a Trainee Associate after graduating from Plymouth University.

After 4 years studying, focussed particularly on pollution and microbiology, I had a solid understanding of statistical analysis and report writing. I was eager to take my skills and pursue a career in business and was offered a training contract at Meridian in October 2010.

Since joining Meridian I have worked on deals in a range of sectors including insurance claims management, retail, IT, Marine, Construction and Maintenance.

I have experience in all aspects of corporate finance providing support for the Partners and Associates on company disposals, mergers and acquisitions, MBO/MBIs, and fundraising.

I am studying accountancy in Southampton during the evenings and weekends to supplement the training and experience I am being given in-house.
