This merger, MHA’s third deal this year, expands its offering in the UK in line with the firm’s ambitious growth strategy.
Speaking on the merger, Rakesh Shaunak, Managing Partner and Chairman of MHA, said: “This strategic merger will enable Meston Reid’s clients to access a new range of specialists and an enhanced national and international offering, while still retaining a highly personal local service. In addition, this merger opens up new avenues for professional development for both the partners and staff in Aberdeen, all of whom we are retaining, and presents enticing career prospects for fresh talent seeking to join our team.”

This merger not only signifies MHA’s pursuit of excellence but also their dedication to expanding their horizons and delivering exceptional value to their clients.
