Accountancy giant bolsters East Midlands leadership team

Azets, the UK Top 10 accountancy firm, has bolstered its East Midlands team with a pair of senior hires.

Mark Brayshaw has joined the team as tax partner, while Alex Bolton has been made a director of Azets Wealth Management.

Brayshaw comes onboard having recently headed up the Intellectual Property division at a mid-tier firm. He previously worked as a senior tax inspector for HMRC.

Bolton, a chartered financial planner, specialises in retirement advice, investments, trusts and inheritance tax planning. He is a Fellow of the Personal Finance Society.

Paul Clifford, regional CEO of Azets, said: “It’s a brilliant achievement to keep growing our team in the East Midlands, despite the continually challenging backdrop of the economic landscape. Both Mark and Alex are heavyweights in their fields, and we look forward to developing our offering to clients, across the range of sectors we work in, with their expertise.

“Working closely with the accountancy teams, the newly appointed financial planners, led by Steve Tennant, chief operating officer of Azets Wealth Management, will provide a joined-up approach to help our clients in achieving their financial goals.”
