Accounting and business advisory firm Saffery has promoted Luke Hanratty to partner.

Luke originally joined the firm’s High Wycombe office ten years ago as a trainee. He’s now set to work alongside partners Sheryl Davis and Andrew Watkinson to steer its strategic direction and growth.

The trio will also look to develop Saffery’s key sectors, including real estate, professional services, hospitality, recruitment, landed estates and entrepreneurs.

“This is an exciting opportunity and I look forward to leading the firm through its next phase of growth with the other partners and team in High Wycombe”, said Luke.

“I want to ensure that we continue to invest in our people, maintain our encouraging and collaborative culture and uphold our high standards of client service.”

Looking back over the past ten years, Luke has enjoyed many career highlights – but one in particular stands out.

“I pulled an all-nighter to sign off on a client which would’ve needed to enter liquidation if the audit hadn’t been completed on time.

“However, we were able to work closely with them to identify how we could obtain the evidence we needed, and ultimately helped to preserve their business and livelihood.

“We’re still working with them to this day.”

Andrew added: “Since joining Saffery, Luke has brought energy, enthusiasm, and a true commitment to delivering a great experience for our clients and our team.

“I’m looking forward to working with him to help grow the firm and develop our service offering in key sectors.”
