Advisory firm makes corporate tax partner hire

Hazlewoods, which has an office in Bristol and two in Cheltenham, has appointed a partner in its corporate tax team.

Tom Verity studied economics at university and trained with BDO in the Midlands before spending time working in industry and most recently helping to lead a regional tax team at EY in Reading.

He said: “I was drawn to Hazlewoods due to its strong reputation in the market, admirable client base and team of talented people located here in Cheltenham.”

He added: “Alongside many factors, its excellent brand reputation, sector specialisms and talented people drew me to the firm. The enthusiasm of the tax team and the breadth and depth of knowledge we possess creates a great environment to work in and a compelling proposition for new and existing clients.”

Hazlewoods partner Nick Haines who heads up the firm’s tax team said: “With more than 540 people across four offices and a tax team of over 90 employees offering both corporate and private tax advice, we are one of the largest independent professional services firms in the South-West and Midlands.

“Recruiting Tom demonstrates our continued ambition to invest in our talent and infrastructure, so we are uniquely placed to support clients with excellence in our tax and advisory services.”
