Azets expands with new South Coast base

An accountancy and advisory firm is growing its presence on the South Coast.

Azets, which supports over 80,000 clients with services ranging from accounting and audit to corporate finance, HR consultancy, tax, wealth management and digital solutions, has consolidated its operations by opening a new regional headquarters at Gateway House, Tollgate, in Chandler’s Ford, near Southampton. 

The move brings together staff from three previous offices in Chandler’s Ford, Romsey and Winchester, uniting over 100 employees “under one roof”.

Spanning 12,000sq ft, the new Solent office is part of Azets’ extensive network of more than 70 locations nationwide.

Mike Tizard, office managing partner, said: “Azets delivers accounting, tax, audit, advisory and business services to a diverse range of companies and high net worth individuals across the Solent region, a key economic hub with a population of more than 1.25 million, 42,000 businesses and the UK gateway to European and global markets.

“With growth in staff headcount and revenues, it made strategic sense to locate colleagues under one roof, with Gateway House the ideal office location because of its proximity to the M27, between the thriving port cities of Southampton and Portsmouth, and the M3 to Winchester, Basingstoke and London.

“The feedback we’ve had from colleagues about our new workplace has been fantastic – Gateway House has emphatically provided the wow factor and will further enhance collaboration to benefit SMEs and high net worth individuals.

“Gateway House represents a significant investment for us and shows our growth intent for the Solent region at a time when businesses, facing increasing compliance and cost pressures, need specialist guidance.”
