Appointments: Hayward Wright, ICC and Vox
Hayward Wright Accountancy Group has recruited four people in accounting, tax and payroll, to bolster its growing team across the West Midlands.
Account managers Barry Tilson and Tasneem Quereshi, personal tax manager Sue Atkin and Ann Rhodes who is a payroll senior have joined the firm.
Winning significant new contracts has meant the team had to take on additional technical expertise for its offices in Redditch, Solihull and Worcester. Headcount has now reached 22, a rise of 47% in two years.
Hayward Wright’s managing director, Alistair Hayward Wright said: “As evidenced by high employment rates across the region, many Midlands businesses have been expanding their workforces and taking on new business. To achieve this they have needed expert tax and accountancy advice, and I am delighted that we have expanded our own team to meet those demands and help our clients capitalise on the surge in economic growth.”
Hayward Wright have also recently become a Platinum partner with Xero, the cloud based accounting platform, which on top of recent recruitment, was welcomed by Hayward Wright who added: ” Welcoming four new experts in their respective fields, working across our offices in Redditch, Worcester and Solihull, is another great milestone for us as we approach the second half of 2018.”
