Scottish chartered accountancy practice Wylie & Bisset has expanded its business recovery and insolvency department with the appointment of the senior management team from MLM Solutions.
The company has appointed former MLM Solutions Managing Director Maureen Leslie as a consultant while Barry Mochan joins on 1st February as Director and Personal Insolvency Practitioner and, in March, Elaine Ramage as a Senior Manager.
A former President of the Insolvency Practitioners Association, Leslie has extensive experience providing advice to the owner-managed business community and to company directors whose businesses have encountered financial difficulties, helping them return to profitability. With a particular interest in using the Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) tool to effect business rescue, she has significant recent experience in dealing with distressed property assets.
Having previously worked at Wylie & Bisset earlier in his career, Mochan has extensive experience in providing debt solutions and advice for individuals, partnerships and unincorporated bodies. He also has extensive experience of contentious bankruptcy work, including appointments made by HMRC’s anti-avoidance teams.
Commenting on the appointments, Donald McKinnon, Managing Partner at Wylie & Bisset, said “We are delighted to welcome Maureen, Barry and Elaine to our burgeoning practice. All have a wealth of experience and a highly regarded reputation within the profession and bring a new dimension to our insolvency team.”
“Our existing insolvency team has been working exceptionally hard during this pandemic alongside all our staff and I am proud of their tremendous efforts and vital contributions to keep the business running smoothly. But rather than simply maintaining an efficient business operation, we are always looking to the future to identify how we can further develop our practice.”
“To that end, over the last quarter myself and insolvency partner Gordon Chalmers have been developing a growth strategy and arrived at the conclusion that the key additions of Maureen, Barry and Elaine will greatly help the firm match its ambitions.”
“While we are currently working through a global pandemic and emergency legislation, this will not always be the case and our practice will not stand still. We look forward to a bright future supporting all our staff and clients throughout the years ahead.”
