Derby-based Vibrant Accountancy has appointed Dawn Ford as client manager, along with Hana Chatwin and Amie Fellows as associate directors.
According to Bev Wakefield, founder of Vibrant Accountancy, the new appointments heralded an “exciting year for Vibrant Accountancy as it continued with its passion of supporting small businesses in Derby and Derbyshire to flourish and in turn create a thriving local economy benefiting communities in the area”.
Prior to joining Vibrant, Ford worked as an accounts manager at Alexander Accountancy for six years.
Meanwhile, Chatwin has joined Vibrant’s team after having originally trained with Wakefield at accountancy firm Cooper Parry.
Fellows has been promoted from her role as head of operations and management accounts to associate director. In her new role, she will oversee the Vibrant team as well as look after clients.
Vibrant Accountancy now boasts a team of 12, and are currently recruiting for a further two team members to join the growing team.
Wakefield said: “I’m delighted to welcome Dawn and Hana to the Vibrant team and Amie to her new associate director role. It’s an exciting time for Vibrant as we prepare some exciting new projects this year, all with the aim of continuing to support business owners to run successful enterprises by understanding their numbers and helping make Derby and Derbyshire a great place to live and work.”
Ford added: “I’m really enjoying my new role at Vibrant and I’ve had a very warm welcome and feel part of the team already. It’s great to give clients support so they can connect with their business journey and at Vibrant I’m looking forward to doing that.”
Chatwin said: “As accountants we can offer valuable support to business owners in so many ways, and I wanted to come and work with Bev to support her in doing that. I enjoy real partnership with small businesses, taking them on their journey and helping them review their numbers and future plans.”
Fellows concluded: “My new role at Vibrant is a more strategic one. I’ll be helping work on the business, focusing on our brilliant team, their needs and how we help our people grow as well as our clients.”
