Testimonials
“Johnston Carmichael was the best fit for us in terms of the core farming business as well as our plans to develop new aligned enterprises. Our business has evolved a lot and will continue to, so that requires the right spread of expertise across the board.”
David Whiteford, Owner, Castlecraig Farm
“After more than 30 years leading a family business, we chose to move to Johnston Carmichael to benefit from their broad range of expertise as our company grew, and my own retirement and potential sale of the business came into view. That decision proved invaluable, particularly during a complex family ownership restructure and preparation for sale, where we received first-class advice across tax, sale readiness, marketing, and transaction support. Looking back from retirement, I am very glad we made the move when we did.”
