New ownership model to also see business ownership shared between 15 directors

John McAslan & Partners has announced soaring turnover and profit alongside the implementation of a succession plan which will see its founder John McAslan stay on as executive chair.

McAslan, who founded the practice in 1993 and who turned 70 this year, will remain actively involved in the practice.

A new model will also see ownership of the company shared between 15 existing members of the team including McAslan, who said the move will establish an 鈥渆xciting approach to growing the practice for the next generation鈥.
