UK accountant invests in North East and Yorkshire with creation of new jobs

A UK accountant has announced that it is investing in the north after creating more than 20 jobs over the past year.

Haines Watts, based in Buckinghamshire, has made 23 new appointments across the North East and Yorkshire in the last 12 months.

The company said that it is investing in the regions as it responds to “growing needs” in the aftermath of the pandemic.

This brings Haines Watts’ headcount to more than 100 across the three regional offices in Newcastle, Darlington and Leeds.

Donna Bulmer, regional managing partner, commented: “Finances have never been more at the forefront of business owners’ minds, given all the challenges they have faced in the last 12 months.

“As the world starts to reopen, we’re seeing more optimism for the months ahead, and our investment in people means we’re prepared to support our clients as their needs evolve and they continue to adapt.”
