Wright Vigar appoints joint managing directors

Chartered accountants Wright Vigar has recently announced the appointment of James Sewell and Kevin Shaw as joint managing directors. 

Sewell joined the firm in 2007 and became a director in 2010. He is responsible for teams at the Sleaford and Lincoln offices who support a wide range of clients in a variety of industry sectors. He is experienced in all areas of business advice from tax planning, growing a successful business, to sales, mergers and acquisitions.

Shaw became a director of the firm in 2013 and his specialties focus around medium and large owner-managed businesses, ranging across many industries. His passion and experience lie within the construction and property development sectors. He is responsible for the Nottingham office as well as clients looked after in Lincoln.

Sewell and Shaw have taken over from Pete Harrison who steps down after five years as managing director.

Wright Vigar has grown significantly over the past few years to become a regional firm and both Sewell and Shaw have played a significant role in that growth. In their new roles, they look forward to continuing the development of the practice across the East Midlands as well as continuing to work with their respective client responsibilities.

Commenting on the appointment, Harrison said: “It has been my great pleasure to be MD for the past 5 years and for the growth we have achieved during that period. I am delighted for both James and Kevin. They both bring different qualities to the table and their knowledge and experience will be vital as we continue to grow and develop.”
