New office location for growing practice

Growing accountants and business advisers Jerroms have relocated their Coleshill office in a move that comes seven months after their merger with Chartered Accountants Harben Barker.

Located on Coleshill Manor Office Campus with plenty of parking for staff and clients, the new office is set within parkland is just a mile away from the town centre.

Currently a team of seven, Jerroms are looking to double their team at Coleshill within the next 18 months and the new office will provide much-needed space to support the next stage of the business ' journey.

Jane Barnett, director at Harben Barker and now a consultant with Jerroms, explained: “Attracting and retaining talent is a priority for us. 2020 was a difficult year, but we are now looking to the future with the key aim of building our team so we can better support local businesses and individuals with the recovery phase. ”

Following a shift in working practices during the pandemic, this comes at a time when many businesses are considering their future working patterns.

Commenting on this topical issue Jerroms client director Catherine Markou said: “As a people business where relationships are key to what we do, a central hub to encourage collaboration with face-to-face contact with clients is instrumental not only for our client service delivery, but also our wellbeing.

“We are incredibly proud of how our employees have adapted and home working will certainly play a role for us going forward, providing the flexibility and work-life balance that is so important for us all. ”

Having acquired the premises earlier in the year, the office has been refurbished.

This was achieved through successful application to the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership (CWLEP) for grant funding through the Green Business and Business Support Programmes, which are part funded by the European Regional Development Fund and are being delivered by Coventry City Council.
