Success for AAB as Mike Brown receives first Dealmakers Lifetime Achievement award

Mike Brown, a founding Partner and Head of Corporate Finance at Anderson Anderson & Brown LLP (AAB), one of the leading independent firms of Chartered Accountants in Scotland, has received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2015 Scottish Business Insider Deals and Dealmakers Awards. This is the first time that the Deals and Dealmakers event has issued such an award.

The judging panel praised Mike’s invaluable contribution to deal making in Scotland and his ability to fight to win deals in a highly competitive market, saying that “The contribution made by Mike Brown to deal-making in Scotland was felt worthy of a special award and particularly with regard to his fantastic track record in the oil and gas sector”.

Under Mike’s leadership the Corporate Finance team of AAB has an outstanding track record of high performance and their recognition as the top dealmakers in Scotland for the last ten years (based on Scottish Business Insider deals statistic as the accountants having completed and initiated the most deals in Scotland each year from 2005 – 2014) is testament to this. Over the last 10 years, the team have completed more than 500 transactions with a combined deal value of over £4.5bn.

Commenting on the award Mike said “Whilst I am extremely proud to have received this award the recognition received is truly for the effort and ability of everyone at AAB, not just me. Every transaction not only involves our Corporate Finance team but a number of teams across the office. So this award is really for them, and I would like to thank the experienced and committed team of individuals at AAB for making the achievement of this award possible.”
