Growth triggers five new appointments for Mitchells

Following across-the-board business growth of 20 per cent in 2016, Chesterfield-based Mitchells Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers, has made five new appointments.

Chartered Accountant and Sheffield University graduate Emily Coy strengthens the firm’s corporate team. She joins from a local accountancy firm and brings a broad range of experience in a wide variety of business sectors to her new role at Mitchells.

Commenting on her appointment, Emily, who is originally from Somerset, said: “The opportunity to join a well-respected and large firm, yet still be hands-on and involved with my own portfolio of clients, attracted me to the role at Mitchells.”

Vaughan Carr from Chesterfield also joins the firms as an AAT accredited Senior Accountant. Alongside Emily, his appointment supports Mitchells’ current growth while a further three new appointments will support future business development and the firm’s commitment to developing talent from within the firm.

Connie Shaw, from Sheffield joins as an AAT Apprentice and Mathew Nutt from Owlthorpe joins as a Tax and Employer Solutions Apprentice, working with Mitchells’ Small Business and Tax and Payroll teams respectively.

Completing the new appointment line-up is Abigail Chadburn, who joins from Sheffield Hallam University on a 12-month undergraduate placement and will be supporting Mitchells’ Corporate Services team.

The addition of Auto Enrolment services to Mitchells’ portfolio last year has contributed to the firm’s growth and also helped enable the firm to attract new clients.

Mitchells has also experienced significant growth in its corporate business, working with current high growth clients and attracting new clients who are looking to access finance and grant funding.

Over the last eighteen months, Mitchells has secured in excess of £75 million for businesses across Derbyshire, including Chesterfield-based care home group Hill Care, which the firm secured a £26 million finance package earlier this year to enable it to expand the business further nationally.

Commenting on the new appointments and firm’s strong performance in 2016, Richard Trueman, managing partner of Mitchells Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers, said: “Mitchells goes into 2017 in impressive shape. We have an excellent team made stronger by our recent appointments. We are now looking to make further senior appointments within the firm during 2017.”

The recent appointments recognise Mitchells’ commitment to ensuring over capacity in employee numbers to ensure its staff have a work/life balance. This commitment, alongside its investment in staff training and development, led to Mitchells being shortlisted for the People Development Awards in the 2016 East Midlands Chamber and Derbyshire Times Business Awards earlier this year.
