Corporate advisory specialist joins Martin Aitken & Co

Glasgow chartered accountants and business advisers Martin Aitken & Co has appointed Euan Ferries to lead their corporate advisory team.

Euan Ferries specialises in advising clients on acquisitions and disposals, due diligence, valuations and securing funding for expansion.

With an extensive network within the SME funding community developed over a 20+ year career, Euan also has a successful track record helping clients to source and secure business grants such as Regional Selective Assistance.

“Euan’s experience will dovetail extremely well with our existing advisory and corporate tax team members’ skills. He has considerable knowledge of Scottish commercial markets and this will help us to continue developing our portfolio of work assisting owner-managed, family run and entrepreneurial business clients” says Ewen Dyer, managing director of MACO.

Euan Ferries said: “I’m delighted to be joining MACO as they have a long established and respected reputation in Scotland. With the financing market continuing to be strong as we enter 2016, new banks entering the market and the continued growth in peer-to-peer lending, all of which is driving competition amongst funders and keeping prices down. It’s a good time for businesses looking for external finance to fund their expansion plans.”
