Accountancy practice adds eight

UHY Hacker Young has bolstered its Nottingham office with a raft of new hires.

Assistant accounts manager Lucy Durham brings 11 years’ experience to the accountancy firm, including a stint heading up a small practice. She will be joined on the team by new accounts assistant Owen Ward.

Meanwhile, Des Pearson has been appointed personal tax manager following a 30-plus-year career in the industry, with Jefferson Johnson joining as tax assistant.

The company has also appointed two new audit seniors in Nottingham in the shape of Tanaka Munemo and Oluwaseyi Adebayo.

They will be joined by audit semi seniors Kayleigh Widdowson and Oliver Wade.

James Simmonds, partner at UHY Hacker Young, said: “We have significantly bolstered our accounts, tax and audit teams with fantastic recruits to reflect the increasing client demands for our services.

“Businesses across the East Midlands are understandably concerned with soaring costs and we endeavour to provide the best service to report and advise on financial matters.

“UHY is driven by the purpose of helping people prosper, with a friendly environment and a leadership team who exude its core values. Lucy and Des bring these traits alongside significant managerial experience, so we’re confident they will steer their respective departments to great achievements.”
