A SKIPTON based accountancy firm which has recently moved to new premises and appointed a new director says uncertainties over Brexit are having little impact on the town which it says is actually continuing to grow and to develop.

The long established Shepherd Partnership is settling in to its new premises at Carleton Business Park, Carleton New Road, Skipton,

The practice, which provides personalised support to business owners and individuals, relocated to its new offices with the aim of offering an enhanced visitor experience, and to accommodate a recent period of growth.

Staff and clients are now benefitting from a comfortable, modern office space and state-of-the-art meeting rooms; all kitted out with a range of high-tech equipment.

Adam Dutton, managing director, said, “As well as being fantastic for us, the move also signifies a positive time for Skipton’s business community. Despite what’s going on in the wider economy - and avoiding Brexit - we are seeing no decline in activity in any areas of business. The region as a whole - and Skipton in particular – is continuing to develop and grow.”

In addition to the move, the firm says it is ‘thrilled’ to simultaneously appoint Heather Langtree, an experienced accountant who joined the firm in 2015, to her new role as director.

“Heather has a wealth of experience and a portfolio of clients who trust and respect her knowledge and advice. She will enhance our leadership team whilst continuing to provide informed advice and opportunities to local businesses.”, said Mr Dutton.

Ms Langtree said: “I believe Shepherd Partnership provide an unrivalled and personalised service.

“I am excited to drive the business forward in my new role, and in our new home. Our team were unbelievably helpful in making the move a success; from packing, unpacking and sorting out IT and phone systems, to welcoming visitors to the new premises.”

Potential clients are welcome to get in touch with Shepherd Partnership via its website to take a look at its new premises for themselves.
