Scotland-based Quantify Advisors has announced the appointment of Callum Laidlaw as its new associate, based in the firm’s headquarters in Aberdeen.
A chartered accountant and experienced audit professional, Laidlaw has spent the last four years auditing companies throughout the energy sector in his role as senior associate at PwC.
The news of Laidlaw’s appointment follows an “excellent” 12 months for Quantify, which saw the firm grow both completed deals and fees generated while boosting its team with a new corporate finance manager, Robyn Purcell, who joined the firm in August 2024.
Quantify anticipates further growth and new team appointments over the course of the year, as it seeks to become “one of the UK’s leading independent corporate finance advisory firms” offering partner-led advice across the entire spectrum of corporate finance and transaction services.
Founders Tom Faichnie and Melanie Clark have over 30 years of experience, and are close to completing 100 deals together.
Some of Quantify’s most recent deals include being the lead advisors to Heatcare Oil and Gas on the sale to Cardo Group; advising UK private equity firm, Foresight Group, on its investment into Aberdeen-based Quality Foods; and financial due diligence for BGF on its investment into Sulmara Subsea.
Laidlaw said: “I’m delighted to be joining the team at what is such an exciting time for the business. Tom and Melanie have built up an impressive roster of clients and I look forward to playing my role in helping Quantify to continue to be the advisor of choice for corporates, owner-managers and private equity firms alike.”
Faichnie added: “Over the last 12 months, Melanie and I have been thrilled with the progress the business has made. Our partner-led approach resonates with firms and businesses across the UK who are seeking experienced counsel from start to finish from their corporate finance advisor. The appointment of Callum will now allow us to take on more work without sacrificing our high standard of delivery for our trusted client base across the UK.”
