Over four years on from the start of the banking crisis, clients and advisers have adjusted to the parameters now expected by banks when funding or refinancing is necessary.

We have been hosting a series of client “theme” lunches over the past year or so.  These informal gatherings have allowed our clients to network with each other as well as with bankers, advisors and investors.

Our guest hosts have included Janet Bulloch, former Agent in Scotland for the Bank of England, Jack Perry CBE, former Chief Executive of Scottish Enterprise, and Morton Dewar, former owner and managing director of Morton Young and Borland Limited, a textile manufacturer based in Ayrshire.
