David Park, Partner Resident at
Haines Watts Crediton says: ““Chris Theedom is a well-respected local
practitioner with many years’ experience and I am confident his clients will
benefit from adding our expertise to his. Like Chris, I operated my own independent practice
for a number of years in Crediton before becoming a partner at Haines Watts, so
fully understand how his business works and the needs of his clients. We are very happy to be joining forces with
Theedoms as we share the same ethos and values.
They have a well-earned reputation for giving excellent personal
customer service and we welcome Chris and his team to our Crediton office.”
C.C.
Theedom, a long-established and well-known firm, offers practical solutions and
advice helping clients to make the most appropriate decisions to minimise their
taxation. Chris Theedom says: “I am
delighted with this merger. The Haines
Watts group has won National awards for the services they provide to small and
medium sized entities and this level of service is evident in the way in which
the Crediton team operate on a local level. Together with my staff, Caroline
Cocker and Jackie Foan, I will work at the Haines Watts offices in Crediton
and, therefore, our loyal clients will see a continuity of our long-term
service with the benefit of an award-winning brand and all that offers. Merging with Haines Watts will provide our long-standing
clients access to a broader range of services, whilst still retaining a local presence
and knowledge with a hands-on approach.”
David Park adds: “This is a huge business opportunity that means
we can provide our award-winning professional services to smaller sized
businesses in the region. Generally practices based in rural areas are serviced
by smaller firms of accountants with a sound local knowledge and hands-on
experience. By joining forces with the well-respected Theedoms, we can now
offer this same personal service backed up by the support of a national firm
with all the expertise that offers, yet charging local fees. The
Haines Watts Group has a network of specialists who we can call upon on behalf
of individual clients as and when they need it, which they couldn’t otherwise
source locally.”
