We have been hosting a series of client “themed” 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. His previous lunch address had been so very informative and entertaining that we invited him back again.
You can read Morton’s story by clicking here
Morton will be with us again soon and we look forward to welcoming some new hosts including:
-
Bruce Mickel, Chairman of Mactaggart & Mickel Homes Limited
-
Stuart Macfarlane, Director of Snapco
-
Stewart Gordon, Business Executive from Scottish Enterprise
-
George Walker, former Managing Director of the recently sold Eurofriction
-
Iain Walker, an expert on antique golf and golfing memorabilia
If you would like to be involved in any of our forthcoming “themed” lunches, please contact Alice Marie Brennan

The family members who are involved in managing the business want to ensure it stays within family control. However, there are not enough family who are interested and/or able to manage all the business, and there isn’t one strand of the family who own enough shares to maintain control. What do you do? |
