Accountancy and business advisory firm BDO LLP has announced a raft of promotions in the South West.

Nationwide, BDO has promoted over 2,300 of its people, including 30 new partners across all areas of the business.

Just under half of BDO’s firmwide promotions fall in the regions outside of London.

In September, the firm welcomed 19 new trainees in the region, a combination of graduates and school leaver apprentices.

Each promotion stands testament to BDO’s unwavering commitment to investing in our people, underlining our belief that they are central to the future of our business."

“We’re incredibly proud to recognise the dedication and talent of so many of our colleagues with these well-deserved promotions just a few months after welcoming a new cohort of graduates and apprentices, our advisers of the future.”

An early advocate of online news, he spent the first years of the 2000s telling his bosses that the internet posed both the biggest opportunity and greatest threat to the newspaper industry and the art of journalism. He was right on both counts.

Since 2006 he has enjoyed a career as a freelance journalist. He lives in rural Wiltshire with one wife, two children, and three cats.
