Manning joins MurphyCobb’s senior team and PE Partners YFM as the business celebrates its 20th anniversary and moves into its next era of growth.

“I am delighted to welcome Nick Manning as our new Chair. Nick has built, scaled and advised some of the most respected businesses in media, and that experience will be hugely valuable as MurphyCobb enters its next chapter.
