Advisory firm announces two promotions

Westcotts has announced a round of promotions, including two members of its team in its Plymouth office.

Tax manager Sean Bolter is now a director at Westcotts and accounts senior Paul Maddock becomes a manager.

Bolter, who oversees a varied portfolio of clients from personal tax clients, small owner managed businesses to larger corporate groups, has worked at Westcotts for nearly eight years.

He said: “In that time, I’ve built up really good relationships with my clients and the people whom I work with, so to have this recognition means a great deal. I’m excited to continue to develop these relationships and look forward to the additional responsibility that directorship will bring.”

Maddock joined Westcotts in 2016 after a career change. He had been working in the hospitality industry but when a leg injury meant he had to take on a temporary administrative role, he became interested in the numbers behind the business and decided to retrain to be an accountant.
