# Guardian Business Recovery / Greenfield Recovery
Guardian Business Recovery was a specialist business restructuring and recovery consultancy based in London, operating until the end of 2020. The firm has since merged with Greenfield Recovery Limited, continuing to serve clients through the enlarged Birmingham and London-based practice.
The business focused on helping companies in financial distress navigate complex restructuring challenges. Working with businesses facing insolvency, cash flow crises, or operational difficulties, they provided expert guidance to preserve value and explore recovery options. The team, led by experienced practitioners John Paylor and Mark Bassford, brought deep expertise in corporate recovery and restructuring solutions.
The firm distinguished itself through a pragmatic, solution-focused approach rather than simply pushing companies toward formal insolvency procedures. This meant advising on operational improvements, stakeholder negotiations, refinancing strategies, and restructuring plans designed to stabilise troubled businesses. Their membership in R3 (the UK's leading insolvency and restructuring trade body) underscored their professional credentials and commitment to industry standards.
Greenfield Recovery continues this legacy, maintaining offices in both London and Birmingham to serve UK businesses in difficulty. They work with company directors, management teams, and creditors to develop realistic recovery strategies, whether through informal restructuring, formal procedures, or orderly wind-down where necessary. Their experience spans multiple sectors and company sizes.
