New London hub for South East accountants in adaptation to hybrid working

A South East accountancy has announced that it is creating a new London office hub as it commits to hybrid working arrangements.

Kreston Reeves, which employs more than 500 people in London, Kent and Sussex, is establishing the new hub in Shoreditch to better suit its move to flexible working.

It follows a similar move in Brighton in January 2021, when Kreston Reeves moved its Brighton office to the Plus X Innovation Hub.

Nigel Fright, managing partner at Kreston Reeves, commented: “Over the past few years we have proudly led the way in adapting to modern agile working practices, supporting the needs of our clients and people.

“With the coronavirus pandemic solidifying that shift in the way we work, our people can use that experience and skill to work seamlessly across our office footprint, from client sites and home.

“We have asked for and listened to feedback from our people over the past few months and we anticipate working about two days a week in the office with other time spent with clients and working remotely.

“We’re committed to our purpose in ‘guiding our clients, colleagues and communities to a brighter future’, and that requires flexibility and balance in where and how we work.

“Our people work hard to deliver the best possible client service so it’s important to create a working environment that meets their changing needs.”

Laurence Parry, partner and London office lead at Kreston Reeves, said: “We’re really excited to be moving to our new base in London that embodies our purpose and values.

“The office will be a place for collaboration, to share ideas, to meet clients, and for all our colleagues to grow and learn.

“Our people really do make Kreston Reeves and we trust them to decide where and how they can best serve their clients and work with their teams.

“We will see our colleagues across all our offices developing a working pattern that is a seamless blend of office and home working.”
