Accountants on “most admired” list

Accountants Saffery Champness, who have an office in Clifton, Bristol have been named as one of the Top 25 Most Admired Companies in the latest national rankings drawn up by leading industry commentators.

The firm earned two mentions in the coveted Private Client Practitioner’s national rankings both as a trust company and as an accountancy firm.

David Lemon, head of Saffery Champness’ Bristol office, said the double entry in the Top 25 ultimate rankings reflected the hard work of staff following a particularly successful six months.

He said: “It’s good going to achieve one mention in these nationally recognised rankings let alone two. We are especially pleased as we have a strong commitment to developing staff and these latest plaudits reflect the extraordinary effort they have put in.”

Private Client Practitioner – a publication aimed at leading private client professionals – introduced the rankings to celebrate the largest and most successful private client-centric advisory businesses in the UK.

The nomination-based Top 25 Most Admired list is made up of law and accountancy firms, trust companies and independent financial advisers that have been featured in PCP’s regular Top 25 lists for their respective fields.

David Lemon continued: “Most Admired companies are selected as a result of the quantity and quality of votes received following an open call for nominations and it means a lot to us to receive such plaudits from our industry colleagues whether they are our peers, contacts or clients.

“The rankings will help us maintain our reputation as one of the top private client firms both nationally, and here in Bristol where we have a strong private client and trust team. This represents a welcome endorsement of the high standards of service we deliver to and the strong relationships we develop with our clients.”
