PKF planning ahead with three new key appointments

ACCOUNTANCY and business advisory firm PKF has expanded its financial planning team in Scotland with three appointments.

Steve Johnstone and James Glass join as consultants, while Lauren Kennedy is a new administrator. They will be covering Scotland from the firm’s Glasgow and Edinburgh offices. Martin Gill, Scottish managing partner of the firm, said: “Our financial planning services in Scotland are expanding to match our growing tax advice service.

“Both are improving markets for our firm and we want to ensure our clients receive the best possible service from experienced and knowledgeable practitioners.”

Johnstone has more than 30 years’ experience in pensions, investment and finance. He is a chartered insurance practitioner and also holds a diploma in financial planning.

Glass is a chartered financial planner with seven years’ experience in the financial services industry. He spent the last six and a half years at Mazars.
