Six months on from the merger and re-brand of Aston Shaw and Morgan Woods, the newly amalgamated firm has enjoyed higher than predicted growth since August 2014. The number of employees has risen from approximately 70 at the time of the merger, to almost 90 employees as of today. Over the course of the year Aston Shaw took on 17 apprentices with more current employees finishing their first year with exam passes.
Dominic Shaw, Director, commented: “The reaction from clients has been extremely positive and we couldn’t be happier with the way things have gone. Everyone has adjusted superbly and the new processes and systems put in place have been embraced by both staff and clients. It’s a big change for everyone who works here but it is a positive one – we’re really excited for what 2015 can bring”.
As a result of the merger, Aston Shaw now has 5 offices in Norwich, Cambridge, Ipswich, Great Yarmouth ad Dereham. This has given clients the benefit of less travel and easier access to their dedicated Client Manager.
One of Aston Shaw’s Norfolk based clients added, “We’ve been using Aston Shaw as our accountants for the best part of 10 years now and we are really pleased with the new changes. They have managed to keep the personal touch which made us stick with them and their added resource means my business is dealt with quicker than ever”.
To coincide with the merger Aston Shaw, re-branded and released a brand new website: www.astonshaw.co.uk.
