Cowgills has announced the appointment of Joe Powell to the role of director in its deal advisory team, as the North West-based accountancy firm continues its expansion.
Powell, who is based in Manchester, joins after nearly 15 years in the industry, most recently as director at Rickitt Mitchell. He said the “calibre of the team” and Cowgills’ ambition made the move “an incredibly compelling opportunity”.
His appointment follows the recent hires of partner Dave Simmons and manager Thomas Wrigglesworth, as well as the promotion of Brett Marsden, Sorina Gheorghita and Richard Hunter to director roles.
Powell joins during what Cowgills described as a period of record growth, having completed transactions worth more than £450m in the past year.
The firm currently operates across four areas: lead advisory, transaction services, strategic support and debt advisory.
Sam Davies, head of deal advisory, said: “Joe is a fantastic addition to our team. His expertise and energy will be invaluable as we continue to scale and support more clients through complex transactions.”
Cowgills, which recently acquired Wigan-based accountancy practice NRB, now employs more than 250 people across the region.
Paul Stringer, managing partner, said the latest appointments and promotions reflected “the talent we are attracting and developing” as the firm pursues its growth strategy.
