Chartered accountancy firm BHP – the largest independent firm of accountants in North Derbyshire and Yorkshire – has appointed three new partners, all of whom began their careers at the firm.
Rachelle Rowbottom, who joined BHP in 1998 following her A-Levels, has been made a tax partner; Kevin Davies, who has been with the firm since 2001, has been promoted to corporate finance partner; and Paul Winwood, who joined in 2006, has been appointed partner and head of audit.
Lisa Leighton, joint managing partner at BHP, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Rachelle, Kevin and Paul to BHP’s 33-strong team of partners and we’re especially proud that they are all homegrown talent!
“We see each individual as a major asset to the firm and this is well deserved recognition for their hard work and commitment.
“Not only do these appointments further strengthen core areas of the business, but they also showcase the growth and career progression opportunities we can offer at BHP.”
Louise Allen, head of HR at BHP, added: “At BHP, we understand how important it is to nurture, develop and support employees to reach their full potential. Furthermore, we want to retain talent and skills as much as possible.
“This approach has always been central to our business model and our firm’s success.”
The company has seen its turnover increase from £8 million to over £22 million in the last ten years.
