Armstrong Watson expands team at newly acquired Glasgow office

The newly expanded Glasgow office of Armstrong Watson Accountants has appointed Pamela Coyne to the post of Restructuring, Recovery & Insolvency Partner.

Pamela was previously a partner with a regional firm, having worked for RSM Tenon, Begbies Traynor, PwC and PKF earlier in her career.

She has extensive experience of property, leisure, engineering and the charity sector, as well as personal insolvency.

Ms Coyne said: “This is a very exciting time to be joining a firm with genuine ambition and growth plans. I have been impressed throughout the recruitment process with both the people and the culture at Armstrong Watson. I am very much looking forward to making my contribution to an already successful and award-winning practice as the business grows and develops in Scotland.”

Mark Ranson, head of restructuring, recovery & insolvency and a Glasgow office partner, said: “Our Restructuring, Recovery & Insolvency team has been operational in Glasgow for the last two years and has steadily expanded as new instructions have been received. We identified last year that we needed to appoint an additional partner in Scotland and, following diligent recruitment, are delighted with Pamela’s appointment.

“With Pamela’s addition to the team, combined with other strategic recruitment, the service line has now doubled in size in the last three years. This also follows the expansion of our firm in Scotland earlier in February with the acquisition of the Glasgow office of the Haines Watts practice.”

Paul Dickson, chief executive of Armstrong Watson, said: “With our recent acquisition in Glasgow of the former Haynes Watts team, the addition of Pamela to lead our the Restructuring, Recovery and Insolvency business in Scotland allows us to provide the full range of services that you would expect from a leading firm in the Central Belt of Scotland. I am really excited for the new Armstrong Watson team in Glasgow as we invest and grow in the City as Armstrong Watson.”

Armstrong Watson’s Restructuring Recovery & Insolvency team is based from the firm’s offices in Glasgow, Carlisle and Leeds and provides advice, support and solutions to companies and individuals across the UK.
