Headpoint Advisors strengthens Reading team with new Associate appointment

Headpoint Advisors has appointed John Westall as an Associate, further expanding the firm’s growing Reading-based team.

John joins from PwC, where he worked with large corporate clients in the telecommunications and life sciences sectors. He holds a degree in Economics from Durham University, including a placement year in PwC’s Reading office.

At Headpoint, John will support the delivery of client transactions across a range of sectors, working alongside partners and senior advisers on company sales, acquisitions and growth capital mandates. His appointment reflects the firm’s continued investment in its Reading presence as activity levels increase across the Thames Valley and wider UK market.

John Westall said:

“One of the biggest factors in my decision to join Headpoint was the team. It’s rare to meet a group that combines such depth of experience with a genuinely supportive and collaborative culture. That gives you confidence not only that you’ll develop quickly, but that you’re part of a group that delivers at a very high level.”

Mark Wilson, Founder of Headpoint Advisors, added:

“John’s arrival is part of the continued development of our Reading team. As our pipeline of work grows, particularly in the South East, it’s important that we invest in talented individuals who can develop within our partner-led model. The quality of people we attract is central to the way we deliver for clients.”

John joins a growing team in Reading, reflecting Headpoint’s continued investment in building depth of expertise and future leadership capacity within the region.
