KPMG names Nimmo replacement in Scottish reshuffle

Blair Nimmo’s promotion to head of UK restructuring at KPMG has seen Catherine Burnet replace him as senior partner for the firm’s Edinburgh office - and ushered in a raft of senior changes for the global business north of the border.

The reshuffle also sees Martin Findlay, head of tax in Aberdeen, become senior partner at KPMG’s Aberdeen office after Duncan MacAskill called time on a 35-year career with the firm.

The Scottish tax team has been strengthened with the promotion of Alan Turner to partner, while Colin Williamson, head of KPMG’s Tax Centre of Excellence in Glasgow, will become responsible for the client team in the firm’s growing UK-wide Small Business Accounting practice, also based in Glasgow.

Andy Myers, who recently joined from Morgan Stanley, will lead the Tax Centre of Excellence.

Craig Anderson, senior partner for KPMG in Scotland, said: “By continually investing in our business we are illustrating our confidence in Scotland’s economy and our drive to deliver client-focused results,” he said.
