Top 25 accountancy firm Wilkins Kennedy and leading Heathrow firm Charles Stuart announce merger
Top 25 accountancy firm Wilkins Kennedy Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers and leading Heathrow firm Charles Stuart LLP are pleased to announce their merger as of 1st May 2010.
The merged entity will be known as Wilkins Kennedy, and will continue to operate from premises in Hounslow and Datchet until both offices merge into the Wilkins Kennedy Egham office in the summer, expanding the tax, accountancy and audit departments.
The entire staff at Charles Stuart will be joining Wilkins Kennedy, including the three existing partners from Charles Stuart: Linda Penny, Bob Johnson and Amanda Magagnin.
Linda Penny, Managing Partner of Charles Stuart says, “The merger brings together two like minded firms. By consolidating our expertise we will be able to provide clients with a wider range of services, and enhance our ability to deliver innovative services that meet clients’ changing needs. At the same time, we will retain the local team and personality of the firm which is of great importance to our clients and staff.”
Kevin Walmsley, Managing Partner of Wilkins Kennedy’s Egham Office says, “Charles Stuart also has a strong reputation as a leading adviser to owner-managed businesses in the Heathrow area and this merger will consolidate our position in the west of London area. The new Wilkins Kennedy team will continue to provide a refreshingly different experience for owner-managed businesses and individuals through the personal and proactive approach that our growing client base has always appreciated, whilst providing a genuinely personal, value for money service.”
