Leeds based accountancy practice, BCL Accountants Limited, has agreed a merger deal with SMH Group, forming a new company called SMH BCL Accountants Limited.
The firm will continue to operate from its office on Pavilion Business Park in Leeds.
The new company sees existing managing director, Chris Nunn start a phased retirement over the next three years, with current co-director, Stacey Pocklington stepping up into the partner role.
James Hartley and Jonathon Dickens, who lead all operations within the SMH group also join as directors
Chris Nunn said: “Having joined BCL Accountants Limited in 1993, and becoming Managing Director in 2002, it is the right time to start phasing in my retirement. We’re delighted to join forces with the SMH Group, a regional firm that has a similar ethos and client focus to ourselves. They’re the perfect fit to ensure we can take BCL Accountants to the next level.
“It is very much business as usual for us – all the current staff will still be on hand, but we now have the resources of a larger firm to ensure we can offer the best all round service for all our clients’ business, personal and family financial requirements.”
He added: “Myself, and fellow director at BCL Accountants Limited, Stacey Pocklington will be continuing, so will be on hand to ensure there is consistency for our clients going forward.
“SMH Group has the expertise to continue to deliver the highest quality service to our clients, as well as introducing their full-service offering meaning they can access all their financial requirements under one roof. I am confident the merger will be of benefit to all our clients and staff alike.”
