By GlobalDataKatie Mallinson joins as acting marketing director, having sold her agency, Scriba PR, in 2023. Her role will concentrate on boosting Northern Accountants’ brand presence and executing a marketing strategy designed to attract and retain customers.
Nick Washbourne rounds out the board, boasting a 25-year background in sales and business development. Formerly the commercial director at Force24, he will now aim to create a scalable business development framework for Northern Accountants.
The advisory board also features managing director Phil Ellerby, who launched the firm in 2008, and operations director Ben Muncaster.
Their leadership, along with the contributions of the 36-member team, has been crucial to the firm’s current achievements.
Phil Ellerby said: “I’ve always believed in doing things differently,” he said. “But to say we’re not your traditional accountancy practice simply doesn’t cut it. We have invested heavily in technology over the years, to develop a slick and efficient business that empowers our people to ‘do their thing’, and liberates our clients in the process.
“I’m not saying we’ve always got everything right, but we’ve also worked hard to employ the best possible talent – colleagues who really have our clients’ backs. It’s our point of difference in a crowded, price-sensitive industry, and with so many mergers and acquisitions taking place in our industry, I think we can leverage our position even further.”
