About

One team, nothing left to chance

Neale Lewis, Adam Rhodes and Debra Martin: one team covering growth, money and law, so nothing about your exit is left to chance.

Exit Advisory Team pairs a Scaling Up coach (Neale Lewis), a qualified financial adviser and stockbroker from Rhodes Wealth Management (Adam Rhodes), and a corporate solicitor heading Geldards' Corporate practice in the Midlands (Debra Martin) into a single advisory team, so growth, money and law are planned together rather than handed to three advisers who've never spoken to each other.

How we work together

Three things that shape how this team operates, not just what it does.

One team, not three advisers. Growth, money and law are planned together from the start, not stitched together after separate conversations.
Knowledge before offers. You understand what's actually on the table before you have to respond to it, so you're driving the exit, not just reacting to one.
On your side of the table. The team acts for you, not for a buyer, a bank, or anyone else with a stake in how the deal closes.

Meet the team

Real experience, three specialists, one team.

Neale Lewis

Scaling Up coach

Spends his time on the growth levers that increase a company's valuation: strategic direction, building a high-performing culture, and reducing how much the business depends on its founder. Guides owners through setting a deal vision, preparing for due diligence, and running the sale itself.

Around a decade's experience working with UK leadership teams on the Scaling Up framework.

Adam Rhodes

Qualified financial adviser and stockbroker

Advises on tax-efficient profit extraction and runs the "What's Your Magic Number?" exercise, so you know what you actually need from a sale well before you're negotiating one.

Almost 20 years' experience. Runs Rhodes Wealth Management.
DM

Debra Martin

Corporate solicitor

Handles the legal side of the deal directly: mergers and acquisitions, disposals, private equity transactions, and ownership transitions including third-party sales, management buyouts and Employee Ownership Trusts.

Over 30 years' experience. Heads Geldards' Corporate practice in the Midlands.
Our promise

We guide founders through the most important deal of their lives with clarity and confidence, not jargon and guesswork.

That means preparing you early, protecting your interests throughout, and helping you unlock the full value of what you've built, so you exit on your own terms, not whatever terms you're offered first.

Where we work

Exit Advisory Team works across the East Midlands and, by referral, the rest of the UK.

Who we help

Founders, CEOs and owners running a business with £5M–£100M in revenue, usually 1 to 3 years before an exit, who want an advisor rather than a broker.
