Top advisory firm grows its Edinburgh footprint amid rising business demand

Leading financial advisory firm HNH Partners is targeting double-digit growth in 2025 with a move to a new larger Scottish headquarters in Edinburgh, as it responds to rising demand from businesses across the region.

The move to 66 Hanover Street marks a new milestone for the award-winning company, which has 30 staff across its flagship offices in Edinburgh and Belfast, and has increased its headcount in Scotland by around 50 per cent over the past year.

Providing industry-leading expertise in Deal Advisory, Strategic Business Planning, Transaction Services, Debt Advisory and Taxation Services, HNH Partners is experiencing exponential growth across all service lines.

Neal Allen, Partner and Head of Deal Advisory at HNH Partners in Scotland, said:

“Following a record year with a steady increase in both the volume and size of deals that our advisers have worked on, we anticipate 2025 will be our busiest yet.

The move to our new headquarters is not only a celebration of our recent successes, but a strategic investment in the future, giving us room to grow our team yet further as we continue to recruit across all levels.

Our modern office environment is designed to foster collaboration and innovation, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of the financial advisory sector, providing enhanced services that continue to place our clients at the centre.”

Advisers at HNH Partners, ranked among the Top 10 busiest financial advisers in Scotland by Experian in its most recent UK and Ireland M&A Review, worked on numerous multi-million-pound deals in 2024, and on some of the most high-profile transactions in the region over recent years.

This has included advising Scotland’s largest window and door company Sidey Solutions on its sale to Swedish giant Inwido AB, and Livingstone-based electronics manufacturer CB Technology on its acquisition by Elite Electronic Systems in Northern Ireland.

Neal added:

“The significant demand for our expertise is a testament to the trust our clients place in us. Our new headquarters in Scotland will not only support our current growth but will also enable us to capture emerging opportunities in an increasingly dynamic market.

Supporting entrepreneurs, business of all sizes and their shareholders, as well as financial institutions and private equity houses, our focus is on helping them realise their growth potential.

Working across all sectors, as diverse as technology, energy, manufacturing, engineering, and beyond, we have built a multi-disciplinary team that has the tools and expertise to advise companies of every hue providing unrivalled support as they navigate complex financial landscapes.”

Last year, HNH Partners launched a new brand as part of an ambitious growth strategy across the UK and Ireland amid several high-profile appointments and revealed a new corporate identity. This included former Deloitte director Roger Mayor – a specialist in corporate finance – who joined the firm’s team in Edinburgh, alongside partners Neal Allen and Harry Linklater.

The new offices at Hanover Street are part of that wider strategy as it seeks to drive innovation and deliver exceptional value to its clients and reflect its commitment to investing in the future and ensuring it remains well-positioned to support the evolving needs of businesses across Scotland and beyond.
