Very importantly, this is good news for employees and investors; jobs have been safeguarded and clients’ investments protected,” said Palfrey who is national head of the restructuring and recovery services team at Smith & Williamson and works out of the firm’s South Coast office in Southampton.


He added: “Funding Knight had suffered a series of financial troubles in the past few months which meant there was no option but for the business to go into administration on June 28. It’s always sad when an organisation goes into administration, but this is the best result in light of difficult circumstances.”


Funding Knight has offices in Eastleigh, Hampshire, and has circa £30m invested in loans.
