A NEWBURY-based accountancy that serves the Thames Valley has relocated to new offices.
Azets, which offers advice to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is now working from a base on London Road in Newbury, close to its previous base.
It says that it needs to do so to meet the demands of Berkshire’s booming economy.
The new office is part of an extensive refurbishment programme costing around £350,000 and extends to over 6,000 sq ft.
Azets says it plans to recruit in the coming weeks and months, including three new Partners and a new Director, as part of a long-term growth strategy.
The firm is actively looking to hire a further seven to 10 new staff in Newbury, including several at senior level, to join the existing 53 employees who already include two Partners and a Director.
The business is on target to employ around 65 staff over the next 12 months.
Azets has a satellite office in Reading, with specialisms including accountancy and business advice for equine companies and corporate tax support.
Kevin Walmsley, Azets Regional Managing Partner said: “The new space and environment means that we now have the capacity to deliver our exciting expansion plans and continue to hire a wide range of talent from across the South East, including expanding our established graduate and trainee recruitment programme.
“For clients this very much emphasises our belief in being small enough to care but large enough to count.”
