Philip Rodney to continue chairman role at Burness Paull

Mr Rodney said they would approach the roles “with energy and excitement”, having led the firm since its creation out of the 2012 merger between Burness in the Central Belt and Paull & Williamsons in Aberdeen.

The pair are now set to continue in the positions until 31 July 2018.

Mr Rodney said: “It is a great honour for Ian and me to be trusted with this responsibility for another term.

“We both approach the task with energy and excitement.

“The firm has achieved a lot since its birth in 2012, and our responsibility, along with the rest of the leadership team, is to ensure that Burness Paull continues on its successful trajectory.

“While I wouldn’t want to underplay these roles, the reality is that our progress is down to the talent and commitment of every single person in the firm.

“Ian and I look forward to continuing to work with them in achieving the next stage in the firm’s ambitions.”
