We always put the client first and ensure that we adopt the most effective strategies that tackle core business and financial issues. Our partners define the issues and objectives so that even the most complex strategies can be implemented successfully. Cork Gully has an adjacent Asset Management Division (Cork Gully Asset Managers) alongside the core advisory.

History

In 1906 WH Cork established WH Cork & Co as a practice largely focused on helping underperforming businesses, which, in the early part of the last century, were being forced out of business. In 1935, WH Cork formed a partnership with his son Kenneth and Harry Gully, creating Cork Gully. After WH Cork’s death and a period of war service, his sons, Sir Kenneth and Norman Cork focused on building the business to become the leading name in the field of restructuring and insolvency. In 1980 the firm merged with Cooper & Lybrand, latterly becoming PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). In 2010 Cork Gully was bought out of PwC by the current management.
