Anthony Collins boosts funding team with Coane appointment

Anthony Collins has bolstered its funding team with the hire of Jon Coane, a former partner at Bevan Brittan.

Coane specialises in funding and finance work, including bank, project, education, social housing, local government and property development finance. Prior to Bevan Brittan he worked at Pinsent Masons and Wragge & Co.

Anthony Collins said the appointment came after a year in which its funding team completed four capital markets transactions for housing associations with an aggregate value in excess of £400m.

Coane’s appointment comes a month after the firm hired Chris Whittington, a former partner at Geldards, as Head of Education.

Commenting on Coane’s appointement, Anthony Colllins partner Natalie Singh said: “To attract such a high-quality recruit demonstrates the growth in the strength of the team over the past few years.  With his strong experience in advising housing associations and local authorities, Jon is a natural fit for the team at ACS. 

“Jon’s recruitment reaffirms our ambition to be a leading funding team, advising housing associations and local authorities on their funding requirements.”
