Mullen Stoker appoints its fourth director

Durham-based accountancy firm Mullen Stoker has appointed Faye Allan as its fourth director.

Client manager Allan will be joining founding directors Neil Mullen and Gary Stoker along with appointed director Stephen Green.

Allan has worked at the Belmont-headquartered firm since 2011, joining as an accountant before studying to be a chartered tax advisor.

As client manager, she was responsible for accounts preparation for sole trader, partnership and limited company clients along with associated tax returns.

She also carried out solicitors’ audits each year.

In her new role, Allan will be supporting her Mullen Stoker colleagues with technical issues and undertaking internal reviews of the company’s systems and processes to see where improvements can be made.

Allan said: “I am delighted that after 10 years with the company, I have now been appointed director. I am relishing the challenges that will come with the role, and also putting my own stamp on the business to support our continued growth.

“We recently opened a second office in South Shields so I will be spending some of my time there, working with our dedicated accountant Christine Griffiths to promote the Mullen Stoker brand across the South Tyneside area. It’s a real honour for me to join Gary, Neil and Stephen as directors of the business at what is a hugely exciting time for us.”

Stoker added: “Faye is a respected and talented member of the team and it was clear from early on in her time with us that she had the potential to be director material. Over the years she has proved to be a real asset to Mullen Stoker and as director, she will play a significant part in our continued growth across the region.”
