Under Niall’s leadership, the Aberdeen office has grown to over 140 staff and partners, expanding their office space and achieving double digit growth in revenues in recent years.
David, who specialises in providing audit and assurance services to growing corporate and larger owner-managed or private equity backed businesses, said: “The oil and gas sector remains core to our business, with construction and property, food & drink, engineering, infrastructure & renewables and technology & life sciences also thriving in the north-east, and our sector experience is key to helping clients navigate these challenging times.
“Whatever the future brings, attracting, nurturing and retaining the best talent is vital to our future success.
“There is no doubt that the way we work has changed and, at a time when we continue to work from home, team engagement is critically important.”
Andrew Walker, Johnston Carmichael chief executive officer, said: “Our talent pipeline is stronger than ever because of our long-term focus on succession planning and investing in the skills of the future, and I’m confident that our office heads will make an important contribution not only to their local communities but also to our business as part of our senior leadership team.”
