Chartered accountants rebrands and invests for new office launch

Cowgills, the chartered accountant and business advisory firm, has relaunched in Ilkley following the acquisition of Jacobs Financial Services back in 2015. 

Located on the Riverside Business Park, the  office will now trade as Cowgills Wealth after a significant investment in a rebranding and refurbishment programme.

The eight-strong team will continue to be led by financial planning directors Shaun Davison and Spencer Bennett.

Commenting on the re-launch, Davison said: “We have been operating in the West Yorkshire region from our Ilkley base for over twelve years and, following the acquisition in 2015, we are delighted to now be a fully-fledged part of the Cowgills team.

“We are committed to building our business in Yorkshire and have firm roots in Ilkley and the wider community. We are able to offer our clients a full range of independent financial advice locally whilst having the support of Cowgills Wealth national expertise.

“We look forward to continuing to support individuals and businesses in every area of their financial planning from our newly refurbished offices.”

Cowgills Wealth has undergone an “extensive” internal refurbishment to create a new reception area, client meeting rooms and office areas, and external signage has also been erected.

Paul Stansfield, Cowgills managing partner, added: “We are delighted to launch the Cowgills name in the Yorkshire region and look forward to servicing our loyal client base in the area. We have over 180 employees based across the north and are actively recruiting the best people to join our growing team.

“Investing in the Ilkley office is an important part of our growth strategy and we will be supporting Shaun and Spencer as they continue to grow the business and service their clients.”

Cowgills, which was established in 1983, has a turnover of over £13m.
