Johnston Carmichael confirms five senior promotions

Accountancy and advisory firm Johnston Carmichael, headquartered in Aberdeen, has promoted four new partners and a new director as it continues to grow across the UK.

The promotions span audit, tax and consulting and form part of a wider cohort of 93 internal promotions this month. 

Two of the new partners, Allison Dalton and Martin Bannerman, are based in Inverness. 

Craig Burnie and Stephen Oates have been promoted in the firm’s tax practice, while Simon Cavell becomes consulting director.

The firm, which now has nearly 1000 staff across Scotland, the North of England and London, is a member of Moore Global.

Lynne Walker, chief executive of Johnston Carmichael, said: “It is an absolute pleasure to welcome Allison, Martin, Craig, Stephen and Simon to our senior leadership team. 

“In their own distinct ways, they have been key to helping our clients, colleagues and communities to achieve greater success, whether through improved internal processes, building stakeholder relationships, driving forward business development or mentoring people in their respective teams.

“Each has put a positive stamp on our culture and I look forward to seeing what they do next as we progress our commitment to creating enduring impact.”

Mark Houston, senior partner and chair of Johnston Carmichael, added: “With almost 90 years behind us, and ambitious plans for growth, it is vital that we develop our next generation of leaders. 

“Allison, Martin, Craig, Stephen and Simon, who have made a fantastic contribution to the firm over the years, are very much part of that future and the legacy we continue to build. 

“We’d also like to congratulate all our other colleagues who achieved promotion this month. 

“We encourage our people to be leaders of their own work and learning and the recognition they’ve achieved demonstrates the brilliant appetite amongst our teams for success.”
