Strong 12 months for RSM’s Scottish dealmakers

The firm’s Scottish-based team has advised on key deals, including a hat-trick of acquisitions for Standard Life consisting of Almary Green Investments, Baigrie Davies Holdings and Munro Partnership; and a trio of purchases for Smart Metering Systems, including Qton Solutions, Trojan Utilities and CH4 Gas Utility and Maintenance Services.

Angela Toner, corporate finance partner at RSM, said: “It’s been a busy start to 2016 with a number of high profile deals completing since the beginning of the year. This builds on the momentum from last year and is testimony to the strong team we have in place. It also demonstrates confidence in the M&A market as businesses look to seize viable investment opportunities, which is great news for the Scottish market.

“Our pipeline looks good, and despite a challenging economic landscape and political uncertainty, there is real optimism in the Scottish market that the uplift in activity is sustainable.”
