Financial services firm PKF Cooper Parry has announced a quartet of promotions in its Birmingham office.

In the audit team, Rob Chatwin has been made a director and Jenny Knowles promoted to manager while in the tax department Charn Bains has been made a senior manager and Chris Fox has been promoted to manager.

The move follows the firm's merger with Clement Keys earlier this year.

Chief executive Ade Cheatham said: "Every team member fully deserves their promotion and has contributed significantly to our continued success.

"We work hard to make sure that everyone feels fulfilled, inspired and motivated at all times and our high staff retention levels are proof that our culture and ethos is the right one.

"The promotions are in line with our ambitious growth strategy for the Midlands, which will see us double turnover within the next two years."

The firm employs 160 people in Birmingham and a further 250 in the East Midlands where a further 16 promotions have been made.
