Accountancy firm Azets has merged two Gloucestershire offices at a new location in the county to accommodate its expanding workforce in the area.
The company has brought together staff at its Cheltenham and Gloucester offices at its new base Epsilon House in Gloucester Business Park, Brockworth.
Azets said the move came following a “significant period of growth”, with its regional headcount now around 80.
It added that the new office showed its continued investment in Gloucestershire and would enable it to house specialists in accounting, audit, tax, payroll, advisory and outsourcing.
The office, which is spread across two floors, will also provide a base for the firm-wide banking and finance, corporate finance and internal audit teams.
Earlier this year, Azets confirmed it would be adopting a hybrid working model, enabling staff to split their time between the office, client sites, or working from home.
Claire Clift, partner at Azets, said: “As well as offering a bigger space for our growing team, we’re looking forward to showcasing the work we’ve been doing behind the scenes, to focus on creating a digital, paperless office set up that is also well placed for agile working and staff wellbeing.”
Ms Clift said the group had continued to recruit throughout the pandemic. She added: "This office merge is part of our continued commitment to the region and marks an exciting time for Azets in our region.”
Azets is considered one of the 10 largest accountancies operating in the UK, with more than 160 offices across Britain and Europe, 6,500 employees and 600 partners. The firm recently acquired Dorset-based independent Inspire Accountants for an undisclosed sum.
