Over time, business distress has become more common and more unpredictable. European restructuring’s default position has historically been insolvency, but all too often this has destroyed value and brought little, if any, unsecured creditor recovery. Influenced by US Chapter 11 and “debtor in possession”, restructuring professionals sought better ways to enhance value preservation. As a result, consensual turnaround and restructuring ahead of insolvency is becoming Europe’s new default position. This practical book draws upon the author’s 25 years’ experience in turnaround management and guides the reader through the key issues including staunching cash burn, creating cash generation, identifying viable business elements, eliminating loss-making sectors and excess cost, and identifying a revised strategy, a credible business plan and the management team to implement them. The importance of stakeholder management is emphasised and covers the role of creditors, suppliers, customers and employees, as well as a comprehensive explanation of how new sources of finance and debt rescheduling can leave a balance sheet consistent with the business plan. In short, Turnaround Management is the perfect guide to help you navigate the benefits of turnaround rather than insolvency. Author Alan Tilley is currently chairman of BM&T.

Following the highly regarded first edition, this second edition of Turnaround Management covers important legislative changes since 2018 and their significant effect on turnaround practice, particularly EU Directive 2019/1023 and the UK’s Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020. It covers, among other things: • the evolution of turnaround; • the influence of the United States Bankruptcy Code’s Chapter 11 on European turnaround; and • the influence of US turnaround practice on driving change from default insolvency to a better balance of debtor and creditor interests to unlock and preserve going-concern value in distressed businesses. The importance of stakeholder management is emphasised, particularly in the light of new moratorium-based legislation, and how this can be leveraged to more consensual turnaround ahead of insolvency without compromising secured creditor collateral. Drawing on the author’s 40-plus years of hands-on turnaround management experience, the reader is also guided through such key issues as cash control, operational change, business plan development and team building to implement the plans – all brought to life through case studies.
