Alistair Dickson joins Quantuma as a Managing Director

Quantuma has expanded its Glasgow team with the recruitment of leading restructuring professional. Alistair Dickson joins the consultancy, having spent more than three decades in the restructuring sector.

Alistair Dickson commented, “I am delighted to have joined Quantuma to support further growth in Scotland as the firm accelerates its already impressive expansion. I was attracted by the quality and profile of work the Quantuma team undertakes, as well as the collaborative approach the firm encourages for its client engagements. The firm’s drive and ambition are very impressive and I am pleased to be playing an active role in its expansion. I am looking forward to further developing the Glasgow based Restructuring Advisory team and to supporting our business clients across Scotland in this challenging economic climate."

Quantuma is a cross-border advisory firm specialising in restructuring advisory. The consultancy employs over 400 staff who operate from its 24 offices located across the UK and in key international financial centres, and recently began work to expand that, having received investment from the Sun Capital Partners-owned K3 Capital Group.

Dickson joins Quantuma’s Glasgow office, as the firm looks to grow its offering in Scotland. He brings 30 years of professional experience in the restructuring sector to the firm, and has held several senior positions, both in industry and in practice.

Most recently, he was Director and Head of Scotland with regional accounting firm SKSi, and prior to that was a Partner with restructuring firms RSM and Begbies Traynor. Earlier in his career, he also spent 12 years at National Australia Bank, where he headed up the UK restructuring, distressed lending and leveraged credit teams.

Carl Jackson, Quantuma CEO,  remarked, “As we look to accelerate our growth story, having just surpassed our tenth anniversary and following recent investment from the European arm of Sun Capital Partners, I am delighted to welcome Alistair to the firm, who joins us to further enhance our restructuring advisory capabilities. We have built a highly regarded multi-disciplinary team in the UK, and I am delighted that Alistair has chosen to join us. I look forward the contribution he will make in developing and growing our Glasgow-based restructuring advisory practice.”

Looking ahead, Dickson will take on the role of Managing Director within Quantuma’s Scottish arm. This will see him working alongside fellow managing directors Ian Wright and Scott Milne, to develop the firm's restructuring advisory practice and further grow the Glasgow team.
