Opus Restructuring and Insolvency has expanded its national footprint with the launch of a new Southampton base, marking the firm’s 15th UK location. The move underscores the momentum behind the Opus Southampton office launch, a focus key phrase that reflects the firm’s commitment to regional growth and specialist support for local businesses.
Leading the new office is newly appointed partner Mike Field, whose career spans almost four decades. He brings a wealth of experience across business recovery, turnaround and corporate finance.
Field has long worked with owner managed businesses across a range of sectors, including marine engineering, manufacturing, technology and property. His deep understanding of the South Coast market positions him to play a pivotal role in the Opus Southampton office launch.
“Having grown up and worked across London and the South Coast, I know the region’s business landscape well,” said Field.
He added: “This is an exciting opportunity to start building a strong Opus presence in Southampton to support local businesses in these challenging times, working alongside like-minded colleagues who share the same energy and optimism.”
Field also highlighted what drew him to the firm. “What struck me most about Opus is the positivity and shared purpose. It’s an environment that really inspires collaboration and progress.”
The Opus Southampton office launch marks a strategic milestone at a time when many businesses across the region are facing heightened financial pressures. With rising costs, tightening cashflow and shifting market conditions, demand for expert restructuring support remains strong.
Opus has been steadily expanding its regional network in recent years, investing in experienced professionals who can provide hands on, practical advice to companies navigating uncertainty. The arrival of Field aligns with that strategy and strengthens the firm’s presence along the South Coast.
Tim Dolder, managing partner at London headquartered Opus, welcomed both the appointment and the launch. He said: “Mike’s appointment and the launch of our Southampton office demonstrate our continued investment in experienced talent and regional growth. His depth of expertise, sector knowledge and commitment to supporting businesses make him a perfect fit for Opus. We’re delighted to welcome him to the firm.”
With the Opus Southampton office launch now complete, further updates are expected as Field and the wider team build partnerships and increase local visibility. “We will be able to announce more news on the growth plans in the local office in the coming months,” Field confirmed.
The opening marks a significant step in Opus’s long term expansion strategy, reinforcing its reputation for being close to the markets and communities it supports. For businesses across the South Coast, the Opus Southampton office launch brings new access to specialist guidance at a time when resilience, planning and proactive decision making are more vital than ever.
