On the move: the latest East Midlands hires

Matt Vice and Phil Bott

Leicester accountancy practice Mark J Rees is appointing two new partners – the first double partnership promotion in its 79-year history.

From December 1, Matt Vice and Phil Bott expand the number of partners at the firm to eight – with all eight having come through the ranks at the practice on Granville Road.

Both originally from Leicester, the pair have a combined 38 years of service at Mark J Rees where they each achieved chartered status.

Stewart Collier, partner, said: “Both Matt and Phil are totally dedicated to their clients and to the practice. They are so focused on their clients’ needs and always have been.

“Everyone in the firm can see what the new partners have achieved and will know that with commitment and hard work they too can progress and could one day be partners.”
