Accountancy firm with £1bn ambition names new Midlands regional managing partner

Fast-growing accountancy firm Azets has named a new regional managing partner for the Midlands.

Danielle Hamill’s appointment comes at a pivotal time of growth for Azets, as the business looks to double total revenue to become a £1bn firm by 2027.

With over 16 years of experience, Hamill joined the firm (previously Baldwins) aged 16 as an apprentice.

She is a partner within Azets’ Coventry office and an ACA-qualified chartered accountant and now specialises in working with owner-managed SMEs and UK subsidiaries of foreign groups. Hamill manages a portfolio of businesses across a range of industries including construction, engineering, legal & professional services and retail.

Hall said: “I’m delighted to be taking on the role of regional managing partner for East and West Midlands, as we continue to grow in the region.

“We have an established office network in the area that includes teams in Tamworth, Coventry, Nottingham, Wolverhampton and Stourbridge and the next stage of our journey looks incredibly exciting.

“We’re looking forward to expanding within specialist areas of accounting such as medical audit, so that we continue to meet the needs of our expanding business, as well as supporting the regional business community.”

Richard Goddard, regional managing director of Azets Central and West, added: “Despite the challenging economic background, as a region, we continue to go from strength to strength thanks to a collaborative approach from our teams and clients. The appointment of Danielle reflects our commitment to support continued growth, so we can continue to meet the needs of our expanding business, as well as helping the growing number of SMEs in the country across complex areas of accounting and business services.”

Hamill’s appointment comes after Azets announced Gurj Sandhu was to become the regional managing partner for Azets Birmingham. Both Hamill and Sandhu join Azets’ senior leadership team for the Central region.

Azets Group has 88 offices in the UK and 189 across Europe. The business aims to double total revenue to become a £1bn firm by 2027.
