PKF Francis Clark breaks into Bristol market

Marking its centenary year, the firm is expanding its commitment to the South West by supporting regional businesses with truly local experts.

15 July, 2019: PKF Francis Clark, chartered accountants and business advisers, today announced the opening of its new office in Bristol. As the firm marks its centenary year, the opening of its eighth office only further demonstrates PKF Francis Clark’s commitment to the South West as it hopes to fill the growing gap in the market and support mid-sized companies from family businesses through to AIM-listed companies.

This new office on Victoria Street will provide a truly local and dedicated partner-led service for clients across the region, having already supported some of the most successful and growing businesses in the area, including the Eden Project, Bristol Sport and Brittany Ferries.

The Bristol team will be led by partners Paul Bray, Stuart Rogers, Paul Crocker, Nick Farrant and Karen Bowen who have all had impressive careers in the region and will bring a huge wealth of skills to the team.

In addition to providing job opportunities to talented people, the firm is keen to invest back in the region by ensuring that 10 per cent of new recruits are local school leavers on an entry level scheme each year.

Andrew Richards, Managing Partner, said: “This city has so much to offer both our firm and people, and as we mark our centenary year, we hope to nurture regional talent and develop our established team to provide a truly local offering. Our people have a real understanding of the Bristol market and have identified an opening for us to really support mid-sized businesses here. We hope to provide a personal touch and will be offering an unrivalled array of local services and expertise for every client.”

PKF Francis Clark offers a range of services in a variety of sectors including construction, food and drink, tourism, healthcare, renewable energies and agriculture. Bristol adds to this offering, providing opportunities in aerospace and defence, financial services, media and entertainment, professional practices and technology sectors.
