DSW Transaction Services makes senior promotions and adds two new execs

Dow Schofield Watts Transaction Services has expanded its London and South East team with two new hires and three internal promotions. 

Ben Bennett joined the team in October 2025 as an executive from Moore Kingston Smith, where he qualified as an Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) chartered accountant. He holds a BSc in mathematics from the University of Exeter.

Meanwhile, Max Heal joined as an executive in November 2025 from Forvis Mazars, where he also qualified as an ICAEW chartered accountant. Heal holds a BA in economics from the University of Liverpool.

Additionally, three existing team members have moved into new roles: Josh Davison has been promoted to associate director, Peter Sexton to manager and Rosie Shipman to assistant manager.

The firm said the changes reflect continued growth in demand for its services.

Richard Hopper, partner at Dow Schofield Watts Transaction Services, said: “The continued expansion of our Transaction Services team is a reflection of the momentum we’re building across the DSW network. Ben and Max will further enhance our ability to support clients through increasingly complex transactions. The promotions of Josh, Peter and Rosie reflect the strength of the talent we already have and continue to develop within the team.”
