Since November 2005, Kennedy & Co, together with Crichton &
Co, have been expanding and consolidating services for you, our
clients. There is no doubt that the individual characteristics that
set both firms apart from others have been strengthened by the merger
which took place nearly 18 months ago.
Our teams have learned much from each other and continue to work
together to produce the highest level of professional service, combined
with care and real interest in the businesses and financial well
being of our clients.
It is our intention that the combined strengths of our teams will
continue to make Kennedy & Co a firm which is renowned for its
professionalism and high standard of client service.
One of Kennedy & Co's strengths is recruiting exceptional professionals
