About Liam Ruddy
Case Studies - showcasing CFO career as a serial high achieverQuattro Group had six-month window to refinance its' ABL debt facility after a debt provider reneged its promise to extend the current facility; during the Covid-19 pandemic and where the FD had resigned several months earlier. I was approached to solve their predicament, re-energise a depleted finance team and put in place effective financial controls and processes to enable Quattro to manage its finances effectively. Led a competitive process to include many of the leading ABL banks, secured several term sheets and was able to refinance the business to the timeline, on optimal terms and light in financial & operational covenants. Built a comprehensive and robust business planning model for this highly cash generative business with a strong emphasis on working capital management and cash flow forecasting . Secured the medium-term future for the company to the satisfaction of owners.Metals Exploration plc: several financial advisory/consulting firms failed to secure suitable funding terms despite their rhetoric. The Chairman & I, in partnership, were more successful where time was a critical factor and secured best possible terms with two (syndicated) leading resource banks. A total project financing package comprised; $85M debt, raising over $100M equity capital from open market and private share placements, and raised in excess of $50M from term loans (some on mezzanine terms) for working capital support. No consultants or brokers were involved throughout. This allowed the mine, process plant and infrastructure to be completed to world class standards, within budget and which is currently a fully operating gold producing mine.CPC Group: a high-end construction Group lacking commercial experience to take a controlling role in the fit-out costs of its flagship project in London. It had outsourced most of the build to a reputable project management team but this company failed to control costs to the satisfaction or expectation of management. I convinced the directors that I could build an information system which would allow me to challenge and control costs. The model provided management with a clear understanding of the BOEs and civil costs, underpinned by a robust database consolidating data from various sources; able to identify & drive out provisional sums and break-out lump sums, resulting in savings to the project in the region of +£20m. Also used the IS to manage and control the complex construction VAT for the project and successfully stood up to the scrutiny of a HMRC COP9.
