Livingstone Guarantee packs a punch with new arrival

Phillip McCreanor, a seasoned deal maker with 10 years’
corporate finance experience, has joined the firm as a Director,
having previously led Deloitte’s Industrial Products team
globally and having led transactions for corporate and private
equity clients in Europe, the United States, the Middle East and
Australasia.

His recent career highlights include the disposal of JR Crompton to
Glatfelter, the US specialty paper company; the £860m
disposal of the LINPAC Group to Montagu Private Equity; the
£170m disposal of LINPAC Containers to DS Smith plc; and the

with a deal value in excess of €2.5 billion over the last
three years.

Phillip’s mandate at Livingstone is to build on his extensive
experience in the Industrial Products sector, which complements the
firm’s significant existing credentials. Phillip will also be
an active participant in G-Pack, the cross-border Packaging team
within Global M&A, the international partnership of independent
M&A houses co-founded by Livingstone in 1993.

Jeremy Furniss, partner at Livingstone comments, “We
are delighted to welcome Phillip into the fold. It’s a
powerful endorsement of our business that such a highly respected

us”.
