Old Mill has promoted Amy Dedman to head of small business, marking a milestone in its “ongoing investment in future leadership”.
The firm’s small business service provides support for small enterprises, offering a wide range of services including company formation and accounts production, tax compliance, bookkeeping and strategic planning.
Dedman joined Old Mill from college in 2014 as a trainee accountant before becoming an adviser. Over the past decade, she has been promoted to associate director, gained experience in the SME sector, and has completed her AAT, ATT and ACA qualifications.
Commenting on the move, Dedman said: “I’m excited to see what this new chapter holds. I’m passionate about supporting small businesses — whether they’re start-ups, family-run companies, sole traders or self-employed individuals — and helping them understand their financial position, become more tax-efficient, and ultimately grow.
“I’m proud to be part of such a strong and talented group of people; my aim is not only to help our clients thrive, but to help each team member succeed in their individual careers too.”
Looking ahead, Dedman said her longer term goal is to raise awareness of the support Old Mill offers to smaller enterprises:
She said: “I want Old Mill to be recognised as the go-to partner for small businesses,” she said, “a trusted advisor who understands that the challenges of running a small business are very different from those faced by larger companies, and has the expertise to provide that bespoke support.”
Mark Neath, CEO at Old Mill, added: “Amy’s promotion is a reflection of her talent, commitment and passion for supporting small businesses. She has grown with the firm, built deep relationships with clients, and inspired those around her. We’re excited to see how she leads the Small Business team into the next phase of growth.”
