City Region Expansion for Accountants

The business works nationally and internationally, with a significant proportion of its work coming from London, the Midlands and South East England, and is not ruling out further new office openings as more new clients are attracted to the firm.

Ryan Harrison, head of Leathers� private client team, has become a partner in the business, and he will lead the firm's growth efforts in Yorkshire.

Tim Mallon, new managing director of Leathers the Accountants, said: ""We act for clients across the UK, and indeed the world, from our two offices in the North East, but we see particular opportunities for us in Yorkshire. Ryan is perfect to lead this significant area of expansion for us. He lives locally, and has built up a good local network over recent years. He is a private client expert and will build a team to deliver our approach to advising clients in Harrogate and across Yorkshire; an approach which has served us extremely well and which has led to this period of intense growth for us.

""Our expansion into Yorkshire is the first step in our strategic growth plan. We are very ambitious and keen to take advantage of new opportunities. We have an exceptional and highly capable team here, which continues to grow through the addition of new key people, and we are very well placed for further growth. The restructure of our management team has put the internal structure in place for continued development of the business and this is a very exciting time for Leathers.""
