Mazars’ Leeds celebrates major national award win

The Leeds office of top ten accountancy firm Mazars is celebrating the firm’s success in this week’s British Accountancy Awards, where the firm triumphed in the National Firm of the Year category. North Region Managing Partner Ian Wrightson said: “We are absolutely thrilled with the award. The Leeds office is one of the largest in the UK outside of London and we are really proud to have played our part in contributing to the firm’s national achievement. We’ve already received numerous messages of congratulations from local clients and contacts; it’s a great boost for the whole team.” The British Accountancy Awards ceremony took place in central London and was attended by hundreds of people from across the profession representing both the largest firms, and smaller local practices. It is run by Accountancy Age, the leading source of news and analysis for the sector. The National Firm of the Year award was not open to self-nomination; instead it was decided on the strength of responses to a survey that Accountancy Age sent to the reader database of its sister title, Financial Director. Ian Wrightson added: “To win on the strength of client feedback is a great testimony to our commitment to client service, outstanding quality and technical excellence. Our people’s exceptional skills, experience and hard work have helped us build and maintain a great client base. In turn, those clients have voluntarily come forward to share very positive feedback about their experience of working with us. It’s a great result.” Mazars has a firmly established UK and international reputation and has successfully strengthened its Northern presence through its income growth. The Leeds office announced earlier this year it has achieved double digit organic growth and is envisaging the same again in 2014/15. The firm has also reaped the benefits of an exciting partnership with the Yorkshire County Cricket Club which has substantially raised brand profile with the team’s second consecutive County Championship win this year. Mazars has 19 offices across the UK, forming a key arm of the wider international, integrated global firm which has 73 countries around the world and a turnover of more than €1 billion.
