Reading: Haines Watts rings in the changes
This New Year the Reading office of chartered accountants Haines Watts is celebrating both an office move and the promotion of Adrian Williams to managing partner.
Williams has been a partner at the firm since 2009 and takes over from John Bailey. He joined Haines Watts in 2005 as senior manager of audit and assurance services and was made associate partner in 2007.
As well as being both FCCA and ACA qualified, Williams has over 25 years of experience in general practice. He was previously senior portfolio manager with Tilbury Young and, before that, worked for Herbert Parnell and Co.
Commenting on the promotion, he said: “I am delighted to take on the role of managing partner and look forward to helping our clients achieve their financial goals for many years to come.”
Bailey added: "We are very pleased to promote Adrian to managing partner. With his experience and enthusiasm we have the best team in place to continue to develop our client portfolio in the Reading area."
The Reading office has also moved location and is now at the Advantage building in Castle Street, Reading – a prominent, modern-office property within walking distance of The Oracle shopping centre and the mainline railway station.
The focus of the Reading office is on supporting the local business community with a full-service offering, including audit and accounting, tax, VAT planning, corporate finance, company secretarial, payroll and pensions advice.
