Anderson Anderson & Brown (AAB) has appointed Ken Beaty as non-executive chair of the group.
He has more than 20 years of experience working with the boards and shareholders of companies as a partner, with private equity group 3i in Glasgow, Leeds and London.
Beaty now works as an independent board chair, working with both private and publicly quoted companies and as trustee and chair with charities in healthcare, education and the arts.
“With an exceptionally talented team, and strong backing from private equity investor August Equity, AAB has a clear commitment to deliver real value to clients and is focused on building a leading tech-enabled, business critical services group which is highly differentiated in the market,” he commented.
Graeme Allan, AAB chief executive, said: “It is fantastic to have Ken join AAB Group at what is an incredibly exciting time for our business - his depth of experience, strategic vision and extensive network will be invaluable to the Board as we identify new opportunities to continue to fast-track our growth.”
In 2021, AAB merged with Glasgow-based accountancy firm Hardie Caldwell, acquired Edinburgh-based Purpose HR, and joined forces with Leeds-based accountancy firm Sagars.
The business plans to continue to expand its portfolio of tech-enabled services for the small business and enterprise markets, fuelled by recent investment from August Equity.
