It is the third consecutive year Brooks Macdonald’s Channel Islands team has featured in the prestigious list.

In qualifying for the Top 30 list, now in its seventh year, Scott was assessed on a combination of academic success, professional qualifications, and his responsibilities at and contribution to Brooks Macdonald.  He fended off numerous other nominees from around the UK.
