Richard Loudon, chairman, and Rob Aberdein

Rob Aberdein is changing the name of his property and legal services company from Aberdeins to Moray Group.

Mr Aberdein, who acquired the Simpson & Marwick business last October, said he wanted to rebuild its legal services offering and apply the brand to all of its activities.

“At launch we needed a name and Aberdeins was fine. However, I believe that something less personal to me makes greater business sense for the long term,” he said.

“Our main focus is most definitely on growing the Simpson & Marwick brand without potential distractions.”
