We're proud to share that the RNLI has presented Johnston Carmichael with a Certificate of Thanks in recognition of our support for Mari McCrossan, who volunteers as an RNLI crew member alongside her role as our Science & Technology Lead.

When the call comes, volunteers like Mari are ready to help, often at a moment's notice. Mari's commitment to supporting her local community is inspiring, and we're grateful for everything she does both at Johnston Carmichael and as part of the RNLI team.

Thank you, Mari, and thank you to all RNLI volunteers for the incredible work you do to help keep people safe around our coasts. ❤️

What does it take to support infrastructure investments over the long term?

Infrastructure is a long game. Success relies on technical expertise, clear judgement and partners who understand both the numbers and the operational realities.

As we celebrate 90 years of Johnston Carmichael, we're reflecting on some of the long-standing relationships that have shaped our firm and our clients' success.

Our work with Dalmore Capital demonstrates the value of strong relationships, thinking long-term, and sector knowledge in supporting complex infrastructure portfolios.
