Shepherd and Wedderburn chalks up a third year of impressive growth

In its latest results for the year ending 30 April 2016, the firm, which has offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and London, revealed revenue grew by more than 11 per cent to £53 million with profits increasing by 20 per cent to £21.5 million.

Solid growth was recorded across the firm’s key sectors, with areas of recent investment also paying dividends. The results cap a year which saw the re-appointment of Stephen Gibb as chief executive for a second term, which, according to the firm’s chairman, Paul Hally, provided an emphatic endorsement of Mr Gibb’s vision and strategy for the firm.

He said: “With Stephen at the helm, the firm has gone from strength to strength and we have enjoyed a period of sustained growth. Our revenue has grown by over 43 per cent during his tenure and we are now a firm of over 500 people, 122 more than in 2012.”
