Tom Grummitt
Insolvency Practitioner & Partner
Current Role
I joined Bridgewood in 2020 and since then have taken several hundred appointments as Liquidator, Administrator, Trustee in Bankruptcy and IVA Nominee and Supervisor, whilst splitting my time between Manchester and Nottingham. I have dealt with individuals and businesses of all shapes and sizes, from builders, to hairdressers, to national fast food chains, to multi-million pound online retailers. I particularly enjoy investigating the circumstances leading to insolvency, both to address creditor concerns and to try to ensure them a return.
Background
I started in insolvency after studying law and business at the University of Liverpool. After university, I spent a number of years working for PayPlan, who provide personal debt advice and solutions to tens of thousands of people each year. Alongside helping individuals to become debt free at PayPlan, I also spent time working for a local, boutique insolvency practice, which gave me my first taste of corporate insolvency work.
I qualified as an Insolvency Practitioner in 2019 and won the JIEBās first place prize in personal insolvency in the process.
Personal Interests
I am a keen runner and can also often be found eating and drinking my way around the Lake District.
