Accountancy firm appoints new boss to head up Manchester office

Accountants UHY Hacker Young has appointed Mark Robertson to run its Manchester office.

Mr Robertson has taken up the role of managing partner after 12 years as a partner with the firm.

He will lead a team of 80 staff, along with 12 fellow business partners.

His main focus will be the continued growth and development of the practice along with his ongoing client relationships.

He takes over from Michael Wasinski, who has retired from the role after almost 40 years of service.

He said: “I am extremely honoured and proud to be appointed as managing partner and to assume the trusteeship of this firm. I am looking forward to building on the excellent work of my predecessor, Michael Wasinski.

“Over the last three years, we have seen our business expand by 50% and we plan to continue this strong growth as a top 20 Practice.

“The success of our growth has come from our determination to offer an unrivalled personal, broad based service using the most up to date cloud based and AI applications, combined with our traditional values.

“I am delighted to be at the helm during such an exciting time.”

The appointment comes as UHY prepares to expand and renovate their offices in central Manchester as part of their overall growth strategy.

Mr Wasinski said: “I’m extremely grateful for the support of the partners and staff at UHY.

“I’d like to thank all our clients for their unwavering loyalty and encouragement over the last 37 years.

“Having worked with Mark for many years, I`ve no doubt UHY will continue to flourish. I wish him every success as managing partner.”
