This is exactly the case with North East accountancy firm Leathers the Accountants, who have upped revenue by more than 25 per cent last year, underpinned by new client wins and key new appointments, and are now targeting further expansion through the opening of a new office outside of its home region, a major recruitment drive and a restructure of its senior management team.

 

The firm is opening an office in Harrogate, in addition to its existing bases in Newcastle and Durham, which will become a focal point for its growing presence in Yorkshire and surrounding areas.

 

The business works nationally and internationally, with a significant proportion of its work coming from London, the Midlands and South East England, and is not ruling out further new office openings as more new clients are attracted to the firm.

 

Its recruitment drive, which has so far seen Leathers make six new appointments in four months at all levels of the business, will continue as the team look for new additions to help support their strong growth.

 

Leathers, which in the past 12 months has rebranded and launched a new website, advises family businesses, property owners and high net worth individuals.

 

Every firm that plans to extend their workforce should also consider implementing a solid, reliable and flexible workforce optimization system, and this is specifically where Time & Attendance – North East might be able to put its extensive experience to very good use.
