Partners, staff and clients were on hand to help accountancy firm Mazars launch its new Midlands head office in the heart of Birmingham.

Midlands managing partner David Chapman said the move to 45 Church Street was a crucial move in meeting the firm’s aspirations.

“The move into 45 Church Street is clear evidence of Mazars’ intentions to continue our growth in the region,” he said.

“We’re on the move both geographically and business-wise, having experienced a dramatic expansion over the past 24 months.”

He attributed the growth to winning major new audit clients and the increasing volume of work in specialist areas such as forensics, corporate finance and governance and internal risk control.

Mazars’ national senior partner David Evans also attended the event and added: “The Midlands operation is one of our fastest growing regions, with the fastest growing list of international clients.”
