Speaking of his new appointment, Alex Jarvis said:

I am delighted to be joining Quantuma and look forward to working with such a dynamic and talented team in Restructuring and Insolvency and the wider firm. I look forward to contributing to the firm’s ambitious growth plans, including increasing our capabilities across the South Coast region.
