Azets announces North East promotions

Azets, a UK top 10 accountancy and advisory firm, has made several key promotions across its North East offices as part of its mid-year review.

Newcastle-based Louise Phillips has been promoted to director, one of eight nationwide. 

Other promotions in Newcastle include Harry Waters to Senior and Thomas Gillis to assistant manager senior marketing.

At the Wynyard office, Hannah Crofts has been promoted to executive and Mofeyisayo Juwe to assistant manager, while James Lee has been made senior at the Durham office.

These promotions are part of 122 career advancements across the UK, with 60 per cent awarded to women, highlighting the firm’s commitment to gender representation in leadership.

Peter Gallanagh, UK chief executive at Azets, said: “This latest round of promotions reflects the exceptional depth of talent we have at Azets. 

“Our people are the driving force behind our success, and it’s fantastic to see so many colleagues progressing in their careers and stepping into new leadership roles.

“As we continue to grow and support the evolving needs of our clients, investing in our people remains a priority. 

“It’s particularly encouraging to see more women stepping into senior positions, reflecting the progress we’re making in improving diversity at leadership level in what remains a traditionally male-dominated profession. 

“There’s more work to do, but this is an important step in the right direction.

“On behalf of everyone at Azets, I’d like to congratulate all 122 colleagues on their well-earned success.”
