Saffery Marketing and Business Development director Richard Crook said: “Both Emma and Tom bring a wealth of experience in client development, relationship building and commercial growth.
“Working closely with David, our new client development team will strengthen our ability to deepen client relationships, identify new opportunities and support the firm’s continued growth across our key markets.”
Saffery is a member of Nexia, a global network of independent accounting and consulting businesses.
