Lindsays demonstrates pandemic resilience

Alasdair Cummings

“Mr Cummings, who has spent the bulk of his 30-year career with Lindsays, reflects with pride on how everyone at the firm has pulled together since the crisis erupted.

“Despite spending the early days of the pandemic working on ‘disaster scenario’ planning with chief operating officer Ian Beattie, when the two modelled Lindsays’ resilience on the basis of no income being generated in the first quarter after lockdown, clients continues to utilise its services. Revenue for the year to the end of March this year is expected to have been comparable to the prior 12 months at around £17 million when the accounts are finalised.

“’As I stand here at the moment, I feel a great sense of pride in the resilience of my firm,’ said Mr Cummings. ‘Clients have kept coming to us for help throughout the pandemic. That has been a real tick in the box as far as we are concerned.

“‘But I am also hugely grateful for the people I have got working in the business, and for how hard they have worked, looking after these clients and ourselves as well.’”
