Accountancy firm’s expansion follows strategic review

ACCOUNTANCY firm Garbutt + Elliott has added a dozen staff to its teams in Leeds and York as it enjoys a “time of significant growth”.
The staff who have joined this year have taken the total number employed to more than 100 as the firm strengthened across departments.
The latest arrival, client services co-ordinator Sarah Coldwell, has become the third recruit to its wealth management team and twelfth of the year to the firm.
Russell Turner, Garbutt + Elliott’s managing partner, said: “At a time of significant growth for Garbutt + Elliott, we are extremely pleased to be able to bring a tremendous amount of expertise and experience to our clients. I am confident that those joining our team will support us greatly in developing our existing client relationships and creating new ones.”
Last month the firm launched a new brand and website, which were introduced following a review by the firm of its positioning within the regional marketplace to assist the implementation of its growth plans.
It has added more than 300 clients in the last year, and also worked on the eye-catching flotation of York estate agency Hunters on the Alternative Investment Market. Since its launch in early June, its share price has risen from 60p to 86.5p this week.
