Mitchells appoints motor trade specialist to senior role

FCCA Chartered Accountant and motor trade specialist Rob Bray joins the team at Chesterfield-based Mitchells Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers.

Rob (31) from Walton in Chesterfield, is the latest in a series of senior appointments to join Mitchells following its business growth over the last 12 months.

He joins from a local accountancy firm and brings considerable experience in the motor trade to his new Senior Corporate Manager role. He has both worked directly in the motor industry himself as well as advising garages and dealerships, on finance, industry regulations and commission structures.

In addition to the motor trade, Rob brings extensive knowledge of business within the local area having worked closely with businesses throughout Chesterfield, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire for more than 10 years.

He commented: “I am delighted to join the team at Mitchells. The firm has excellent relationships with the big finance houses, which is critical for motor traders and businesses looking to grow. Cars are my passion, so I am particularly pleased that I will be working so closely with existing and new motor trade clients, as well as those across the board, helping them operate more efficiently and competitively.”

Rob joins Mitchells’ 40-strong team of professionals, one of the largest and longest established in the area. His appointment follows shortly after that of Hari Mehta who joined at the end of last year as the firm’s Auto Enrolment expert.

Richard Trueman, managing partner of Mitchells Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers, said: “I am delighted to welcome Rob on board. He represents a significant step forward in our drive to further strengthen our senior corporate management team. Our clients want tailored industry-specific advice and solutions for their business and we have the senior team in place to provide this. We are keen to expand the team further and are actively recruiting at all levels throughout 2016.”

Mitchells has enjoyed a period of impressive growth in the last 12 months, which has seen the appointment of two new partners, and the appointment of six new members of the team. If you are interested in joining Mitchells, please visit www.mitchellsacountants.co.uk or call 01246 274121
