The move is part of the firm’s £1.5 million expansion plan.

Ms Baxter joins from KPMG and will focus on Turnkey Group’s insolvency software IPS. In her role at KPMG, she worked on the firm’s digital transformation agenda across all aspects of the company’s restructuring practice. Ms Baxter brings two decades of experiences to the role.

Her arrival follows the appointment a year ago of Kenny Doole as commercial director.

Tony Wood, managing director, said: “We are delighted to have both Deborah and Kenny join the leadership of our business as we embark on a significant transformation of both our Restructuring software business and SME software business. Both bring a wealth of skills and experience in dealing with customers in their respective sectors and plan to drive significant change as we expand and develop our services and products.”

Deborah Baxter added: “I am delighted to be part of such a well-known, family-run business who has established such a credible product. The opportunity to drive a wider digital agenda into the Restructuring market is really exciting, particularly helping our customers understand how they can embrace this new platform and all that comes with it.”
