Coventry and Warwickshire’s leading accountants and business advisers Harrison Beale and Owen have appointed a new director.
Mark Ashfield joined the company four and a half years ago from Birmingham accountants Grant Thornton and takes up his new position on July 1.
He studied accountancy at the University of Liverpool before training in his home city of Wolverhampton with a national firm of Chartered Accountants.
The 35-year-old spent three years in the HB&O Coventry office in Queens Road, managing the audit accounts team, before moving to the firm’s Leamington base in Highdown Road.
Mark said: “Harrison Beale and Owen is a growing company and I am looking forward to being a part of the company’s success in the years to come.
“We have a great structure in place with experienced staff and a wide-ranging customer base.
“As a director I’ll be looking to develop my own client portfolio and become more involved in the training and recruitment sides of the business.”
Harrison Beale and Owen managing director Rob Kendall said: “I am delighted and excited that Mark has agreed to become a director.
“In the period that Mark has been with us he has become an invaluable member of the team and has gained enormous respect, not only from our clients, but also from everyone within HB&O.
“Mark’s appointment will give us the ability to ensure that we continue to provide a total support package service to owner-managed businesses in Coventry and Warwickshire.”
Mark lives in Worcester with his wife Samantha and is a life-long Liverpool FC fan.
