Professional services firm AAB has strengthened its regional leadership team with two senior appointments as it looks to support growth across Glasgow and central Scotland.

The firm, which has offices in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Stirling, has appointed Malcolm Crawford as business development partner and promoted corporate finance partner Iain Walker to head of central Scotland.

Mr Crawford joins AAB with a background in corporate and relationship banking, including senior roles at Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland, and Anglo Irish Bank.

Mr Walker will continue in his role as corporate finance partner alongside his new regional responsibilities.

The firm employs more than 375 people across its central Scotland offices and is backed by Goldman Sachs Alternatives.

AAB now employs more than 1,800 people globally and generates more than £200 million in revenue.



John Beevers, head of regions at AAB, said: "As AAB continues to grow, it is important that we combine the scale, capability and expertise of a national firm with the strong local relationships and market understanding that clients value.

"Malcolm brings significant experience and connections from across Scotland's business community, while Iain's appointment builds on the strong relationships and market knowledge he has developed during his time at AAB.

"Together, they further strengthen our ability to support ambitious businesses across Central Scotland as they navigate growth, change and opportunity."

Malcolm Crawford, business development partner at AAB, said: "Joining AAB at such an exciting time for the Central Scotland team is a fantastic opportunity.

"I've long admired the firm's reputation for combining technical expertise with a genuinely personal approach, and I'm looking forward to building relationships with clients and helping them achieve their ambitions."

Iain Walker, head of central Scotland and corporate finance partner at AAB, said: "I'm delighted to take on this new regional role alongside my Corporate Finance work with clients.

"It's a great opportunity to help shape AAB's growth across Central Scotland while continuing to do what I enjoy most – supporting clients through some of the most significant moments in their business journey.

"My focus will be on ensuring businesses across the region can benefit from the full breadth of AAB's expertise while continuing to receive the local insight, relationships and support that are so important to long-term success."
