Esme Macfarlane

Ms Macfarlane said: “It’s exciting to have my hard work recognised by being promoted to partner and it’s a fitting reflection of the development of the renewables team at WJM over the years.

“I’m really pleased to be stepping into this new leadership role as we continue to grow. It’s not just about the great quality work we do – it’s about the strong relationships we’ve built with our clients, and I’m genuinely proud of what we have already achieved as a team and where we’re headed.

“This role reflects how far we’ve come and how much the renewables sector as a whole has evolved – it’s an exciting time as Scotland continues its drive towards Net Zero, with the challenges of energy security and sustainability always at the forefront.”

Andy McFarlane, head of renewables at WJM, said: “Myself and the rest of the team welcome Esme’s well deserved promotion to partner. She sets a very high standard in terms of her client service and mentorship to others in the team and we all know how well she is thought of by our clients. We look forward to growing the team further with her in this new role.”
