The firm’s ambition for growth, combined with its commitment to doing the right thing for its clients and its people, really stood out. The energy sector is such a vital part of the North East economy, and I’m looking forward to working with clients across this space, supporting them through the challenges and opportunities presented by a changing landscape.”

David Wilson, regional office head of Aberdeen, said: “The energy sector is undergoing a period of profound transformation, and businesses operating within it face a uniquely complex set of financial reporting and regulatory challenges. Teresa’s appointment reflects our ongoing investment in our people and our future – her values and experience align strongly with our culture, and we look forward to the contribution she will make to our team.”
