Mr. Hatchley will join the board of Avoca and work alongside Avoca's co-founders, Chief Executive, Alan Burke and Chairman, Donal Daly and the other senior members of the Avoca management team to serve clients and exploit the growth opportunities that are available to the firm within European credit markets.

James Hatchley joins from Freeman and Co., a financial services focused M and A advisory and strategic consulting firm where he was Managing Director and COO of Freeman and Co. Europe.

Mr. Hatchley is a qualified chartered accountant and began his banking career at Schroders in 1991.

Founder and co-Chief Executive Officer of Avoca, Alan Burke, said: "The management and shareholders of Avoca recognise the diverse range of experience and global perspective that James will bring to the management and future development of the Avoca business. Since we established the firm in 2002, we have grown Avoca both organically and through acquisition. Throughout that period we have focused on ensuring that our business infrastructure and management resources have matched the development of the firm. James' appointment is consistent with that philosophy and also reflects our belief in the future growth opportunities available to Avoca."
