Manolete Partners has appointed Will Sawyer as its new chief financial officer (CFO), effective from 15 December.

He will join the specialist insolvency litigation financing firm with experience to the role, following a 25-year career in finance and accounting.

Sawyer will join the company from AIM-listed TV and brand production firm, Zinc Media, where he has worked as CFO since October 2018.

Prior to this, he was the finance director at ITN Productions, having previously qualified as a chartered accountant with Deloitte and worked as a corporate finance manager at the BBC.

Chief executive officer at Manolete, Mena Halton, said: "I'm delighted that Sawyer has agreed to join Manolete and look forward to him joining the board in December. I would like to thank Rachel Lindley-Janes for her sterling work as interim head of finance while we undertook a thorough review process to appoint a permanent CFO.

"As a seasoned public markets CFO, Sawyer's extensive experience in finance and accounting make him ideally suited to the role, and I look forward to working with him to continue to grow the Manolete business."
