A regional accountancy and business advisory firm, which has offices in Cannock and Walsall, has made a raft of senior promotions.

Azets has promoted Richard Hewitt and David Saunders to associate directors.

Richard joined Azets in 2019 as a senior audit manager.

As associate director, Richard will work closely with clients in Cannock and the surrounding areas alongside partners Stuart Ellison and John Hegney.

Richard will be assisted by two new hires, with Will Phillips and Rob Siviter both joining Azets Cannock as managers.

David joined Azets in 2017 as client manager.

David 's appointment to associate director is his second promotion in 14 months as Azets continues to grow and develop its talented young team at its Walsall office.

These promotions are the latest milestones in Azets ' continued investment in its people and specialist expertise across the Midlands, following senior appointments in Shrewsbury and Birmingham.

Stuart Ellison (pictured), partner at Azets Walsall and Cannock, said: “I 'd like to congratulate Richard and David on their deserved promotions. We have a broad skillset across our Cannock and Walsall offices, both of which will benefit from Richard and David 's appointment to senior roles.

“We are enjoying a period of accelerated growth in Cannock and Walsall and building a reputation for investing in people. I 'd also like to pay tribute to two young, talented managers in Walsall, David Thompson and Stephen Tracey, who ably demonstrate Azets ' commitment to supporting professional development, and welcome Will and Rob to the team. ”
