Business Breakfast: Partner appointed at Harrogate accountancy firm
David Bussey has been promoted to partner at Saffery, the firm of chartered accountants and business advisers.
The company has nine offices in the UK has had a large hub in Harrogate since 1992, where it employs a team of around 70 people.
Mr Bussey works within Saffery’s land and rural property group and has been with the firm 24 years.
He said:
Starting out at Saffery as a trainee in 2000, has turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made, though I didn’t know that at the time.
It was a smaller firm in those days but with an excellent reputation and once qualified, I had a mixture of landed estates and trust clients, along with some family-owned businesses to look after.
Since then, the firm has grown, but never lost sight of the importance of forging long-term relationships and always planning for the future. I still work with many clients from the early days, which is a testament to that.
Jonathan Davis, Saffery partner and head of the firm’s Yorkshire office, said:
David plays a pivotal role in our land and rural property group and his promotion is a reflection of our commitment to offering a partner-led approach for each and every client.
