Watson Buckle Helps Leading Recruitment Group in 100% Shareholder Bid

Watson Buckle has welcomed Cliff Sewell as a new client to the firm, by assisting him to become the sole shareholder in his business, Sewell Moorhouse Recruitment.   Cliff bought out Philip Hill, a senior director of the firm, resulting in him now owning 100 percent of the firm’s shares.

Sewell Moorhouse was originally a sole venture, embarked upon by Cliff in 1997.  As the company expanded Cliff saw the need to bring in a second director, which he did in 1999.  Growth has always been high on Cliff’s agenda, with the goal to become the leading professional services recruiter in the UK.

In 2007 Cliff decided to restructure the business and needed professional advice and that’s where Watson Buckle stepped in.

“They challenged the numbers to make sure I was getting the best possible deal,” says Cliff.  “When they were satisfied that I was happy, they took care of everything and made it all happen.

“They have become an integral part of my business. I don’t use them merely as an accountant but insist on working with them as a professional financial function on a daily basis.”

Managing partner Chris Padgett adds: “We are delighted to be working so closely with Cliff, especially as he has such an ambitious streak.  We look forward to helping him realise his ambition to further grow and develop his business.”
