Armstrong Watson has announced the promotion of Steve Preston to Audit and Assurance partner.
Preston joined Armstrong Watson in 2022, after 15 years with BDO in Leeds. He has already made a “significant contribution” to the audit service line and now heads up the Manchester office and Automotive sector.
Based between Leeds and Manchester, he works across both offices.
Preston said: “It’s a great personal achievement to reach audit partner. Once I had decided that audit was the career I wanted to focus on, reaching partner was always the ultimate target and it feels good to have reached that target at Armstrong Watson.
“I have had a great start here at Armstrong Watson, being promoted to partner, appointed head of the Manchester office as well as head of the Automotive sector, and I am very much enjoying my role. Both the Manchester office and the Automotive sector specialism are exciting prospects, and with the investment and hard work of the teams involved, we’re already seeing significant growth with even more in the pipeline.”
Paul Dickson, Armstrong Watson’s CEO and Managing partner, added: “Steve has made a huge impression in his time at Armstrong Watson and is very deserving of his promotion to partner.
“Steve has vast experience working with large international groups, listed businesses and a mix of privately-owned and private equity-backed businesses in a range of sectors, and is perfectly placed to help develop Armstrong Watson in Manchester, Leeds and the Automotive sector.”
