He said: “I’ve lived in Wrexham all of my working life and have worked alongside Lee Webster, LBW’s managing director, and his team for more than 15 years.

“Similarly to LBW, I have been assisting local businesses owners with financial and non-financial aspects of their business to help them grow.As a member of a team with a refreshing approach to accountancy, I’m excited to be introducing further businesses in North Wales and the borders to LBW’s pro-active service.

“I have seen first-hand the positive impact LBW has made on clients that I have known for many years, helping them to mitigate tax and structure their plans.

“We have a talented team ready to kick start this exciting new chapter for the business, and I’m confident our passion for going the extra mile for our clients will help make it a success.”

LBW has embraced the advancement in I.T. software and new technologies within the accountancy sector, including Xero, Kashflow and Sage, all of which provide the option for remote access to client records.

“The new office makes us more accessible to our North Wales-based clients and other businesses in the region.

“I believe, having serviced many businesses in North Wales over 30 years, this expansion will help the LBW brand grow further.”
