HWB Chartered Accountants promotes three as business demand grows
Hampshire firm HWB Chartered Accountants has made three strategic promotions to facilitate future growth as business demand grows.
The trio, Jenny Cull, Will Churcher and Brendon Reis, have all been named as business advisors as the Chandler’s Ford based firm bolsters its business strategy and planning offering.
HWB Chartered Accountants managing director Tracy Jenkins said: “These promotions are part of our continued growth and succession planning for the future.
“It is also to do with talent retention and aligned with our strategy of promoting from within whenever possible.
“These promotions are thoroughly deserved, and we are pleased to promote the three of them. Jenny, Will and Brendon will now work closely with our team of directors to offer advice, guidance and practical help to our growing client portfolio.”
Jenny joined HWB’s accounts and audit department in 2012 as an 18-year-old trainee, the youngest employee in the firm at that time, straight from Barton Peveril College. She completed her AAT apprenticeship studies in-house, before moving onto her ACA exams and qualifying as a chartered accountant in 2017.
Southampton-born Jenny has worked across a variety of sectors, including manufacturing, the motor trade, hospitality, logistics, the film industry, academy schools and corporate clients, as well as taking on responsibility for the training for the firm’s audit training and development across the board.
Will Churcher, who joined in 2017, initially applied for HWB while he was studying AAT at college. Will continued to work through AAT and ACA, qualifying as a chartered accountant in 2023.
He has subsequently worked on a range of clients in various sectors, including academy schools, construction, property management, recruitment, and retail. His focus moving forward will be helping clients to develop while ensuring that they are compliant with reporting requirements.
In addition to this, he will be overseeing HWB’s Business Services and Innovation team who offer a range of services including management accounting, bookkeeping and VAT returns.
Brendon Reis, who joined in November 2017, has worked with a variety of clients ranging from property management, architecture and design firms, fire engineering, design, goods manufacture and construction businesses.
He started working with HWB after he finished at Winchester University studying accounting and finance and was seeking a place to work, train and take his ACA exams. His current responsibilities include acting for academy schools and corporate clients.
