Both join from Deloitte, reuniting with former colleague Roger Mayor, who became a partner at HNH a year prior.

The new hires, following HNH’s recent move to larger offices on Hanover Street, increase the Edinburgh team to seven, reflecting the firm’s ongoing growth in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Neal Allen, partner and head of deal advisory, said: “The fact we are recruiting says something about our ambition to be the number one dealmaker in Scotland. We may bring some more people in at the end of the year, both here in Scotland and across the wider firm.”

Mr Allen added: “We have about 20 live mandates spanning technology company fund raising, debt advisory and company sales, across a diverse size range of clients.

“We have enjoyed a strong period, with some high-profile deals, and despite some challenges in the economy this is an exciting time for the business.”
