The Mackay & Co group consists of Mackay & Co CA, the north of Scotland’s chartered accountants; GHRL, its business consultancy division; and now ADHOC HR.

ADHOC HR will bring more than 40 years of combined HR experience to the Mackay & Co group as it strengthens its consultancy offerings.

ADHOC HR, will continue to trade under the same name, was established in 2017 by director Colin McAndrew, who has previously worked in senior HR roles for Amazon, Honeywell, GE and Global Energy Group.

For the past four years he has been using his expertise to support small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in the north of Scotland.

Marcus MacIver, director of Mackay & Co, said: “We are delighted to be welcoming the team from ADHOC HR into Mackay & Co. This move represents a huge step forward for both businesses, allowing us to provide a well-rounded offering to our clients to help them in all areas of their business.

“For over 40 years, we have provided a range of accountancy and business advisory services to our clients – and the addition of HR consultancy, covering all areas of employment, will provide a significant advantage to our clients who want to have access to all their outsourced services under one roof.

“Colin and his team have a fantastic reputation within the business community in the north of Scotland, so we know that our clients’ HR requirements are in safe hands.”

McAndrew will stay on to head up ADHOC HR in the Mackay & Co group, said:“We are very much looking forward to working with our new colleagues at Mackay & Co to provide HR support to businesses across the country over the coming months and years.”
