Lynda Butcher
I am the manager of the Leicester office, a qualified Insolvency Practitioner and member of the Association of Business Recovery Professionals. I deal with all types of corporate and personal Insolvency.
Irish born and bred, I started my career working in the accounts department of one of Ireland’s largest property sureveyors/valuers. I moved to the UK in 2001 and initially worked with John Harlow as a Personal Assistant in the Insolvency department of a previous practice, progressing to a Junior Administrator in 2002.
In 2006 I became a Senior Administrator and passed the Certificate of Proficiency in Insolvency examination in 2007. In 2011, I passed the Joint Insolvency Examination and obtained my licence in January 2013.
Outside work, I am Mum to a very active little boy! In what spare time I have, I enjoy running, hiking, travel and reading and have completed amongst others, the Ring of Kerry hiking trail. I have sought refuge behind a bear bin in Canada to avoid rutting Elk, who were blocking the route to my tent and made a leap of faith to a rescue boat over crocodile infested waters in Australia, when the engine on the boat I was on, broke down!

John Harlow
I first started working in Insolvency in 1985, for a small Insolvency and Accountancy practice in Nottingham, which later merged with a top 10 national Accountancy firm.
In 1991, I passed the Joint Insolvency Board Examinations and obtained my licence to take appointments as an Insolvency Practitioner.
In 1995, I left that firm to set up an independent practice with some of my colleagues in Leicester. In 2006 I joined a Midlands based Accountancy firm and set up a new office in Leicester, taking my Insolvency team with me.
In 2010 I disenfranchised the Leicester office and set up the independent practice of John Harlow Insolvency and Corporate Recovery, maintaining the same team and operating from the same offices on New Walk in Leicester.
Outside work, I enjoy sailing, being a member of Rutland Water Sailing Club and also Rock Sailing and Water Sports Club in Cornwall. During the Winter, I enjoy ski-ing and am a keen follower of Leicester Tigers Rugby Club.
I am married to Elspeth and we live in the Vale of Belvoir with our two pathetic cats Beryl and Doris!
I have been allowed to enter the firm’s baking competition and am pleased to say that I haven’t poisoned anyone …..yet!!
If you would like to contact me about anything other than baking, please feel free to contact me by email john.harlow@harlowinsolvency.co.uk or by telephone 0116 275 5021
