Across the firm’s Scottish offices, there were 32 promotions – including the six in Aberdeen as well as two in Inverness.

“These appointments strengthen our breadth and depth of experience and expertise to help our clients achieve their ambitions.
“Azets is a purpose-driven organisation that places inclusion at the heart of its values.”
