A Haslingden accountancy firm which “goes the extra mile” has scooped a prestigious award for the second year running.
Cassons chartered accountants and business advisers, whose head office is in St Crispin Way, were named NWSCA (North West Society of Chartered Accountants) Accountancy Firm of the Year at a ceremony held at Stanley House Hotel in Mellor on Thursday (November 25).
The firm, which also has offices in Manchester and London, beat off competition from Jones Harris, Abrams Ashton, and Moore Smalley to claim the coveted title.
Napthens Solicitors sponsored the category and Keith Melling, partner at the firm, presented the award on the night. He particularly applauded the firm for expanding their services to provide tailor-made packages for barristers through their www.cassonsforcounsel.co.uk website.
He said: “The winner has continued to develop – going the extra mile for their clients. They invest in their staff and use technology to their best advantage to continue the development of new niche markets.”
Les Nutter, managing partner at Cassons, said: “We‟re thrilled to have won this award for the second successive year and it is testament to the continued hard work and dedication of our staff, who genuinely do go the 'extra mile'.
“We are particularly delighted that the judges recognised our efforts to expand our business into more specialised fields and embrace new technology during a very difficult economic climate.”
