ACCOUNTANCY giant PwC has expanded its tally of equity partners to 34 in Scotland, as former Scottish chairman Lindsay Gardiner retired.
Two new partners have been admitted, while a further two have relocated to the firm's operation Scotland. Shujaat Khan, a financial services audit partner based in Edinburgh, and Glasgow-based Scott Lawson, who works in the consulting practice, have become partners, having previously been directors. Meanwhile Martin Cowie has moved to Aberdeen from Belfast to lead the firm’s energy transition work, and Gregor Lindsay has returned to Glasgow from London to head the deals practice.
Five new directors for Scotland have also been named: Lauren Atkins, Gillian Collin, Kimberley Dixon, Jane Ferguson, and Adam Turner.
The changes came as PwC veteran Mr Gardiner retired after 32 years with the firm. Mr Gardiner, who was Scottish chairman between 2012 to 2019, said: “I have had a fantastic time at PwC working with very talented colleagues and many of Scotland’s high-quality business organisations in audit, transaction and advisory roles. One of the joys has been helping others build and develop their careers and I am sure that PwC will continue to go from strength to strength through continuing to invest in talent across all sectors.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
