Opus Advisory Group has announced the promotion of Mark Boast to Partner, within its Restructuring & Insolvency division, recognising his outstanding contribution to the firm’s continued growth and his expertise in restructuring, turnaround and insolvency.
Now based in East Anglia, Mark has nearly two decades of experience advising businesses, lenders and stakeholders across a wide range of complex restructuring and insolvency matters.

Since joining the firm, I’ve been given the opportunity to develop professionally, work alongside exceptional colleagues and support clients through some of the most challenging periods in their business journey.”
He continues, “This promotion reflects the trust the business has placed in me, and I’m excited to continue helping grow our restructuring and insolvency practice, developing our talented team and delivering the high-quality advice our clients rely upon. Being based in East Anglia also gives me an exciting opportunity to further develop Opus’ relationships and presence across the region, while continuing to work closely with my existing clients and professional network across London, the South East and nationally.”
Trev Binyon, Managing Partner at Opus Advisory Group, said, “Mark and I have already been working closely together to build our relationships across East Anglia, particularly within the professional community in Norwich.

He has consistently demonstrated the expertise, professionalism and commercial judgement that we look for in our Partners.”
Tim concludes, “At Opus, we’re committed to investing in our people and creating opportunities for talented individuals to develop their careers. Mark’s progression is another excellent example of that commitment, while also strengthening our ability to deliver specialist advice to businesses across the UK as we continue to grow.”
