Stewart MacDonald comments:
“We have been advising on many business turnaround assignments, including business restructuring, refinancing and debt recovery. Looking forward I see this being an area that will continue to grow, so when the opportunity arose to acquire an experienced corporate recovery team we moved to bring them in house.

“For the past two years there has been an increase in the number of requests from businesses asking for assistance on turnarounds, help with cash flow issues etc and there is no question business leaders value the advice of trusted business advisers in challenging circumstances.  The additional resources we can now offer from the expanded team will be welcomed by those in need of support.

“As well as covering our offices in Edinburgh and Glasgow, the expanded team will be looking to work with companies throughout Scotland.”
