We asked Derek McElhinney of McElhinney & Co the following questions.<\/p>\n

What is your principal company activity?<\/strong>
\nWe are a firm of Chartered Certified Accountants with a very strong background in tax matters. We assist businesses with annual income levels from \u00a30 to \u00a310m. We pride ourselves in supporting business owners and managers with all business matters and with the aim of assisting them to continuously improve and achieve greater goals.<\/p>\n

When and where did the company first start trading?<\/strong>
\nThe company commenced in June 2009 in Glasgow.<\/p>\n

What made you want to work in Scottish culture?<\/strong>
\nThe initial attraction was the people working in this area; they really stood out. Later came a sense of assisting individuals and groups to make a difference, supporting them on their journey.<\/p>\n

\"\"Can you tell us of any particular company highlights?<\/strong>
\nWe moved to larger offices during 2016 which was a great feeling of achievement.<\/p>\n

What are your company\u2019s plans for the future?<\/strong>
\nSlow and steady growth which will support our view of supporting the individuals and businesses we work with in the first instance as opposed to focusing on those we don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

How will you celebrate receiving Hands Up for Trad\u2019s Business Limelight award?<\/strong>
\nWith whisky at the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame Dinner.<\/p>\n
