McGinlay is the one to fill new role
PRIVATE sector economic development body Opportunity North East (ONE) has appointed Maggie McGinlay to its executive team in Aberdeen in the new role of senior development director and deputy chief executive.
Ms McGinlay is currently sector director for energy at Scottish Enterprise and has worked in economic development for more than 20 years. She was previously director of food and drink for Scottish Enterprise and a founder member of the Board of Scotland Food and Drink.
Ms McGinlay will take up the role in the autumn and report to chief executive Jennifer Craw.
She will support the development and implementation of an ambitious programme of activity which ONE hopes will deliver a renaissance strategy for the north east of Scotland with a lead focus on the newly created ONE Digital sector activity and other major projects.
Further Aberdeen hire for Deloitte
DELOITTE has strengthened its Aberdeen practice with the appointment of Caroline Muir to lead its business tax team.
Ms Muir, previously a tax director in the firm’s Edinburgh office, has almost two decades’ experience in advising a host of family-owned and private equity-backed businesses on their tax strategies.
Starting her career with the firm in 2002 after training with Andersen, Caroline re-joined Deloitte in January 2016 after a period with Johnston Carmichael - latterly as deputy head of tax.
She will lead a team of 12 tax specialists and play a significant role in boosting Aberdeen’s position within Deloitte’s North West Europe firm.
Her move to the Granite City also follows the recent appointment of Graham Hollis as senior partner in the office, as Deloitte continues to invest in its Aberdeen team.
Ms Muir said: “Despite the challenging times Aberdeen has faced over the last three years, a degree of optimism is returning to the city."

Liam Bonar was also appointed creative strategist.
