Hugh Morgan

Hugh Morgan has worked in investment banking in an advisory capacity for over 35 years, guiding companies listed in London on their capital markets and financial advisory requirements.

Hugh joined the City in 1988, initially at Hoare Govett before helping form an international mergers and acquisitions team at Chemical Bank.  He subsequently worked at Samuel Montagu and UBS before joining Panmure Gordon where he became Managing Director and Co-Head of Investment Banking.  More recently he has worked at a senior level at Shore Capital, at W.H. Ireland, where he was Head of Corporate Finance, and at Zeus where he jointly ran the PLC advisory practice.

Hugh’s broad multi-sector transaction experience has included advising companies of all sizes listed in London both on the “main list” and on AIM over several decades and has involved managing numerous IPOs, secondary equity offerings and public takeovers as well as advising boards on strategy, governance, valuation, due diligence, and day to day regulatory compliance.  He has a keen focus on the detail of the regulatory requirements of being a publicly quoted company, in particular those set by the FCA, London Stock Exchange and Takeover Panel; in this regard he has acted, respectively, in a Sponsor role, as a Qualified Executive under the AIM Rules and as Rule 3 adviser under the City Code.

Hugh read PPE at Lincoln College, Oxford and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1988
