Accountants welcome new partner
Bradford chartered accountants Watson Buckle have appointed a new partner to their team.
Mark Wilcock, whose appointment took effect on 1 April, began his accountancy career as a 17-year-old trainee with Watson Buckle, where he later qualified.
He went on to gain further experience at another local independent accountancy practice, working his way up to manager, and then at top ten accountancy firm Grant Thornton, where he was an audit manager in the Leeds office for four years.
His return to Watson Buckle in 2005 gave him increased opportunities to work with small and medium-sized enterprises. He was appointed an associate at the practice in 2007.
Mark, who lives in Hellifield, near Skipton, is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. Alongside his audit expertise, he also offers particular experience in advising owner-managed businesses and is also involved in staff training and practice development at Watson Buckle.
He said: “I am proud to become a partner in a firm that has been working with businesses in Bradford and beyond for more than a century. I am very much looking forward to continuing our tradition of helping clients to develop and grow with innovative ideas and advice.”
Managing partner Chris Padgett said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Mark as a partner at Watson Buckle. His skills, expertise and enthusiasm will further strengthen our partnership team, to the benefit of both our firm and our clients.”
