BDO appoints three new partners

BDO has appointed three new partners following the internal promotion of 24 partners last month. Ben Coggin, who will be based in the BDO’s Leeds office, joins as a Transaction Services partner, having built up almost 20 years’ experience. 

At BDO, Coggin will be responsible for growing the Transaction Services practice across Yorkshire and the North East to support ambitious mid-market businesses looking to explore strategic transactions. 

His expertise includes technology, media and business services, as well as industrial markets.    

Meanwhile, Andrew McIntosh also joins BDO’s Yorkshire and North East team as an Audit and Assurance partner. He has over 15 years’ experience and a wealth of technical expertise, utilising technology and data-driven insights to work with businesses on their growth journey.  

Finally, Charles Waite joins BDO as a Tax partner in the London Office, and will lead BDO’s Global Value Chain proposition in the UK, helping clients undergoing operating model transformations to address the tax implications of change. He has over 20 years of experience in the sector.  

Mark Shaw, managing partner at BDO, said: “BDO is a people-powered business and investing in talented and high-performing individuals like Ben, Andrew and Charles is important to the continued success of our organisation – and the entrepreneurial, growing and ambitious businesses we work with. They are each a great addition to the team, and I look forward to working with them and seeing them flourish.”
