A CHANDLER’S Ford accountancy business has promoted a new associate director.

Nick Whitemore assumed the position at HWB more than a year after he joined the practice.

He is the latest of three colleagues at the business to progress from a business advisor to an associate level in the past 18 months.

He will work with clients who seek accounts, advice and tax services including individuals, owner-managed businesses and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

He said: “Time has flown by. It’s great to be part of the HWB team. Everyone is enthusiastic about providing the best for our clients while winning new business too.

“I’ll still be very much involved on the client side, growing relationships, but I’m delighted to have been afforded this opportunity to step up. I’m very excited about the challenge.”

Among the responsibilities of his new role, Southampton-born Nick will attend monthly directors’ meetings and work more closely with the ten-strong board led by Tracy Jenkins, Managing Director.

Tracy said: “Since joining us, Nick has demonstrated and applied his skills, insight and professional experience for our clients’ benefit.

“We are always looking to promote and encourage growth amongst our team and Nick’s promotion forms part of our overall company strategy based around the strength of our business advice services.”
