Tom Barnwell

Profile

I am a Partner in the debt advisory team, having joined Clearwater in 2013 as Associate Director. I am responsible for leading all aspects of refinance and debt raise processes, from initial client meetings through to detailed negotiations with funders. I have worked with a variety of businesses whilst at Clearwater, with notable clients including Sykes Cottages, 4com, Fishawack and Verdant Leisure.

At Clearwater, I enjoy working with entrepreneurial, high calibre, driven management teams and investors to truly understand their business. We can then use our knowledge of the business to ensure that we deliver a competitive debt package that suits the business’ needs.

I am a Chartered Accountant, having trained at Ernst and Young, where I spent eight years, the final five of which were also in debt advisory. During my 10 years in debt advisory, I have been involved in over 50 deals with an aggregate value in excess of €2bn.
