French Duncan has appointed Euan Ferries as director of corporate advisory.

Prior to joining the Glasgow-headquartered firm, Ferries – an experienced corporate financier – worked for visual services business ADS Visual, and was a senior manager at BDO Stoy Hayward.

French Duncan’s corporate division was rebranded as a corporate advisory department following the appointment of partner Graeme Finnie in May this year. According to the firm, this was in order to 'more closely reflect a broader approach to advice offered to clients on all aspects of their business on an ongoing basis'.

Finnie, said: ‘Both Euan and myself have direct industry experience, which is uncommon for corporate advisory personnel in accountancy firms.

‘Our offering is broader than that of most corporate finance departments; extending beyond the confines of corporate finance into corporate advisory work, strategic advice and ongoing assistance with all the managerial aspects of running a business, from financial management through to its strategic direction and assistance with the implementation of that strategy.’
