Harrogate accountancy firm Lithgow Perkins has announced the appointment of Tom Lowry and Tom Rhodes to the role of partner a decade after they joined as apprentices.
Lowry and Rhodes progressed through their training and a series of demanding industry exams to become fully qualified chartered accountants in 2020 and 2018 respectively.
This promotion will see them work alongside current partners Robert Horner, Mike Briggs and Joe Taylor to help develop the firm’s services and grow its client base.
They will also be involved in supporting the next generation of accountants, helping to train the five apprentices currently at the firm.
Rhodes said: “We’re delighted to be recognised with this promotion which is the culmination of a lot of years of hard work. Lithgow Perkins is a great place to work and we’re very grateful for all the support we’ve had from everyone as we’ve developed our careers in accountancy.”
Lowry added: “Over the past 10 years, we’ve been given some great opportunities to expand our knowledge and skills across all areas of accountancy, as well as developing the softer skills needed for client-facing work.
“We’re looking forward to helping strengthen and grow Lithgow Perkins for the future by taking a proactive and innovative approach that will add value for our clients.”
Joe Taylor, partner at Lithgow Perkins, said: “Our new partners are a great example of why it’s important for long-standing firms like Lithgow Perkins to nurture their younger staff members and invest in their career development.
“They have worked extremely hard, are proactive and innovative in their approach, and have built a strong reputation for their expertise and the value they deliver for our clients.”
He added: “They have become invaluable and respected members of our team and their promotions are very well deserved.”
