People: Accountancy firm strengthens management team with recruit from HSBC; Further expansion for digital agency; and more

A former HSBC senior commercial banking manager has been appointed by Huddersfield-based Crowther Accountants as business development manager.

David Busfield joins the firm’s 20-strong team with more than 40 years’ experience in the banking industry. His role will see him generating new opportunities, working with existing relationships and managing sales activities.

Starting his career with Midland Bank in 1976 — more latterly HSBC Group — he initially worked in the retail banking sector before moving into the commercial and corporate environment over 20 years ago. His career has seen him work in various roles, before being appointed to the senior commercial role five years ago.

Throughout this time, Busfield supported a wide variety of SME’s and corporate clients, covering both West and South Yorkshire.

While this is a new role created within the firm for Busfield, he has been an associate of Crowther Accountants for many years.

He said: “In the past we’ve shared some of the same customers and I’ve always been impressed with the way Crowther do things. The team is extremely proactive, on-the-ball and quick to spot opportunities for clients.

“So when this new role became available and I saw their plans for growth, I decided that I wanted to be part of it. I’m excited to be joining such a great team.”
