If you’re using Metrolink, your best bet is St Peter’s square, a short walk away. hbspt.forms.create({region: "na1",portalId: "2281038",formId: "c970fd41-c599-4a97-a176-52ccf4b68f16"}); Direct to your inbox Join our newsletter list to get all the latest news and events from HURST straight to your inbox.

About People & Planet Our Business Culture & Values Global Connections Our People Our Clients Call 0161 477 2474 Search Back to news Home / News and Events / Our Business Services Team Continues To Expand Our business services team continues to expand We are delighted to have strengthened our fast-growing business services team with six appointments. Robyn Vandesande and Lizzie Hill have joined us as seniors, while the arrival of four graduate trainees has also bolstered the ranks. Robyn has joined from KJG in Manchester, while Lizzie has moved from Langricks Chartered Accountants, which has offices in Cheshire and West Yorkshire. "We work very hard to ensure the people who join us fit our culture. They must be passionate about helping our clients to achieve their goals, as well as being ambitious for themselves and the firm as a whole" The trainee recruits are Daniel Bulman, who has a music degree, economics graduate Jack Deegan, geography graduate Sam Green, and Bertie Watts, who has a physics and maths degree. Meanwhile Katie Waud and Ryan Tattler have been promoted to manager level. They are the latest promotions in the burgeoning team and more are due to be announced in the near future. Partner Mike Jackson, head of our business services team, whose work for clients includes audit, compliance, strategic advisory, outsourcing and business planning, said: “We are seeing an exceptional period of growth across the practice, and within the business services team alone we have expanded our recurring client base by 25 per cent in the past 12 months. “Katie and Ryan have worked tirelessly to help clients through the challenges of the year, combining positivity with great leadership qualities. Their promotions are well-deserved and reflect their fantastic contribution to the firm and our client base. “In line with the increasing demand for our expertise, we continue to invest in recruiting the right people while at the same time enabling existing team members to progress their careers. “We work very hard to ensure the people who join us fit our culture. They must be passionate about helping our clients to achieve their goals, as well as being ambitious for themselves and the firm as a whole. Robyn and Lizzie fit the bill perfectly. “At the same time, we are delighted to welcome to the team our four graduate recruits, who all came through a rigorous application process, and we look forward to seeing them develop their careers with us.” The latest additions take our team to 94. We expect our workforce to top 100 in the coming months in line with our expanding client base and a buoyant pipeline of deals for our corporate finance team. Further announcements will include high profile new joiners across the firm and even more promotions.

About People & Planet Our Business Culture & Values Global Connections Our People Our Clients Call 0161 477 2474 Search Back to news Home / News and Events / Mental Health and Wellbeing Charity For Young People Gets Boost From HURST Mental health and wellbeing charity for young people gets boost from HURST An organisation which supports young people experiencing issues with their mental health and emotional wellbeing is in line for a boost after being chosen by our team as our firm’s charity of the year for 2023. 42nd Street is supporting growing numbers of people with its range of free and confidential services, including one-to-one counselling, group work, online sessions, cognitive behavioural therapy and creative activities at The Horsfall, the charity’s bespoke gallery space. The Manchester-based charity supported over 6,500 people last year – an increase of 30 per cent over the previous 12 months. Since its inception in 1980, it has helped 65,000 individuals, of whom 20,000 have benefited in the past four years alone. Its team of counsellors, therapists and workers work with people aged 11-25 to understand the issues they face and develop positive coping strategies. 42nd Street is partially funded by the NHS, but is also heavily reliant on donations. The Horsfall offers creative, art-based programmes where young people can work alongside established and emerging artists to explore and share their stories and express themselves, as part of the charity’s approach to develop positive mental health and wellbeing. HURST chief executive Tim Potter said our staff were keen to support a mental health charity, particularly as the issue has come to the fore due to the pandemic. Our fundraising efforts will include a number of staff taking part in the AJ Bell Great Manchester Run later this month. Tim said: “42nd Street does wonderful work alongside the NHS in providing valuable mental health services to young people, something that is needed now more than ever in the wake of the pandemic. “Being part of the local community in Greater Manchester is really important to us, so we love it when we are able to show our support by having the opportunity to work with good causes that give back to the community.” Simone Spray, chief executive (pictured) of 42nd Street, said: “The charity has had more young people than ever before asking for support over the last year, and so the support from HURST couldn’t be better timed. “We are extremely grateful to them for choosing us as their charity of the year and we are really looking forward to supporting them in some exciting fundraising activities and getting to know them as partners over the next year; “Everyone says 42nd Street is like a family, so we are delighted to welcome the HURST team to the family.” Young people accessing services and support from 42nd Street have told how the charity has helped improve their lives. Princess Arinola, one of those accessing The Horsfall space, said: “I love working with The Horsfall. The staff are open-minded and kind, always sharing knowledge and happy to answer any questions. It’s a beautiful space to work in and I’ve had a lot of fun making work that means a lot to me at The Horsfall. Any time I do a project at The Horsfall it feels like I’m doing an act of self-care.” Another young person said: “I was told 42nd Street was somewhere that can help you and make you feel special, and that’s exactly what they did.” You can donate to our fundraising page via this link: www.justgiving.com/page/hurst-accountants-42nd-street Back to news Published 09 May 2023 Author Simon Brownbill Partner & Head of Practice Development Share Start your journey Call 0161 477 2474 imagine@hurst.co.uk Book a meeting Start your journey Your partners for growth, accountancy, audit, tax, corporate finance, digitalisation and more.

About People & Planet Our Business Culture & Values Global Connections Our People Our Clients Call 0161 477 2474 Search Back to news Home / News and Events / HURST Team To The Fore As Growth Company Acquires Winning Moves HURST team to the fore as Growth Company acquires Winning Moves A team at HURST has advised the Manchester-headquartered Growth Company on its latest acquisition. The Growth Company’s consulting arm GC Insight has bought Birmingham-based business support, research and evaluation firm Winning Moves for an undisclosed sum. Ben Bradley and Isabelle Luscombe of HURST’s corporate finance team and Adrian Young and Sarah Haley in HURST’s tax team advised Growth Company on the deal. Growth Company is an award-winning social enterprise with a mission to enable growth, create jobs and improve lives. The buyout bolsters GC’s growing consulting offer and will help to strengthen its infrastructure and growth across the UK. GC established a consulting offer in 2021 with the acquisition of research and consulting company ekosgen. Winning Moves and ekosgen will continue to trade independently and, together with the Growth Company, under a new brand ‘GC Insight’, offering clients their combined breadth of services from its pool of 40-plus consultants for research and advisory work. The combined team will help organisations and partnerships to plan for the future, secure investment, improve their impact and demonstrate the benefits they generate. GC Insight delivers creative thinking on new solutions, service design for efficient delivery, technical help to secure funding and planning approvals, advice on operational performance, and economic and social impact evaluations. Founded in 1995, Winning Moves offers two core services. It delivers support to more than 100,000 businesses in the UK and overseas to drive growth and performance. Its client base includes local and national government departments, publicly-funded organisations and international organisations including the United Nations and Enterprise Ireland. Following the deal, Winning Moves’ chief executive Adrian Davies has departed the company to pursue other business interests. Chief operating officer Debs Secker has been promoted to managing director. Ben Bradley said: ““It was a pleasure working with the Growth Company on this acquisition. I look forward to seeing the combined businesses thrive as part of the enlarged group, and wish the departing shareholders all the very best for the future.” Simon Hooton, managing director of GC Insight, said: “This is the culmination of many months of work and builds on GC’s commitment to create a compelling commercial consulting offer with purpose. “Winning Moves has a really strong reputation in its core markets and a very capable team of researchers and advisors, which we want to grow. GC is committed to supporting the Winning Moves team to realise its potential in our social enterprise model alongside the rest of our GC Insight team. “Together GC, ekosgen and Winning Moves aim to be a market-leading team that helps economic development organisations and businesses improve their impact and more effectively demonstrate the benefits they generate. “This investment allows us to deliver creative thinking on new solutions, service design for efficient delivery, technical help to secure approvals, advice on operational performance, and impact evaluation to measure value for money.” Debs Secker said: “We’re excited for the next chapter at Winning Moves. With a strong history of working collaboratively with GC, we’re confident that together we will be greater than the sum of our parts. “Our existing customers can be assured that we are similarly aligned with GC regarding values and ethos, and I’m sure they will be delighted with the enriched service offering this acquisition will bring about.” Back to news Published 05 April 2023 Service Business Acquisition Author Ben Bradley Corporate Finance Partner Share Start your journey Call 0161 477 2474 imagine@hurst.co.uk Book a meeting Start your journey Your partners for growth, accountancy, audit, tax, corporate finance, digitalisation and more.

About People & Planet Our Business Culture & Values Global Connections Our People Our Clients Call 0161 477 2474 Search Back to news Home / News and Events / HURST Team Clean Beach of 1,000 Pieces of Litter HURST team clean beach of 1,000 pieces of litter A beach clean-up by nearly 70 members of our team saw them collect almost 1,000 pieces of litter in just 90 minutes. The group picked up 64kgs of discarded waste during their mission at West Kirby on Wirral. More than 50 per cent of the litter was plastic or polystyrene in origin. The group also collected objects made from glass, metal, wood, paper, cardboard, cloth and rubber, as well as sanitary, pottery and ceramics items. A total of 68 people took part in the clean-up, which was organised with the Marine Conservation Society. Among the items they collected along a 600-metre stretch of the beach were plastic bags, drink cans and bottles, crisp, sweets and sandwich packets, clothing, chip forks and lolly sticks, foil wrappers, wet wipes, balloons and fishing gear. Robyn Vandesande, a member of our people and planet team, which runs hands-on and interactive programmes to promote care of the environment, helped to arrange the clean-up. She said: “I have a keen interest in conservation and sea life and, after reading about the work of the Marine Conservation Society and the activities involved in the beach clean-up days, it seemed a great opportunity to combine some hands-on involvement to support its work while at the same time being a useful and memorable team building exercise. “Improving the planet’s health, and finding ways to slow down global warming and its effects, must begin with the individual. It was great to get the opportunity to weave this into our working lives. “West Kirby beach is known for being very clean, so given the amount of litter we collected really makes you think how bad dirtier beaches must be and the state they would be in if groups such as the Marine Conservation Society weren’t dedicating their time to clean-ups, data collection and awareness projects.” Clare Trotman, Marine Conservation Society’s Beachwatch Officer, said: “We are so grateful to HURST for undertaking such a thorough clean of West Kirby beach and for surveying the litter they found. “Not only have they safely stopped harmful litter from entering the Irish Sea, but their survey results will also help us to understand what types of litter are being found on the Wirral coast and give us an idea of where this is coming from.” For more information about the Marine Conservation Society, visit www.mcsuk.org Back to news Published 26 October 2023 Author Simon Brownbill Partner & Head of Practice Development Share Start your journey Call 0161 477 2474 imagine@hurst.co.uk Book a meeting Start your journey Your partners for growth, accountancy, audit, tax, corporate finance, digitalisation and more.

About People & Planet Our Business Culture & Values Global Connections Our People Our Clients Call 0161 477 2474 Search Back to news Home / News and Events / HURST Staff Reach New Heights For Willow Wood HURST staff reach new heights for Willow Wood Intrepid staff at our firm have reached new heights to raise thousands of pounds for a Greater Manchester hospice. Partner and director of practice development Simon Brownbill and Rebecca Leech, an associate in our business services team, led the way with sponsored tandem skydives from 15,000ft. Meanwhile a team of 25 colleagues completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge – scaling Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough in 12 hours. Seven others undertook a cycle ride along the Tissington Trail in the Peak District, covering a total of 26 miles there and back, while a group of six took part in an open swim at Sale Water Park in Greater Manchester, clocking up 7km in total, followed by a 10km walk. The endeavours mean we have now raised more than £13,000 for Willow Wood Hospice, which is based in Ashton-under-Lyne and provides care and support throughout Tameside and Glossop. Willow Wood is our charity of the year for the second year in a row, as Covid impacted our fundraising ambitions in 2021. Simon said: “Willow Wood does amazing work and our team was keen to help them out with some creative fundraising efforts. “We’ve had groups of people doing some amazing things for the charity. I’d always wanted to try a skydive, and having the opportunity to do one for such a great cause was awesome. “As well as raising money, we have supported Willow Wood directly, with a number of staff volunteering in its shop, distribution centre and at the hospice itself, and by the firm donating a number of computer monitors.” Rebecca said: “I was inspired to do the skydive for Willow Wood as it was something I’d always wanted to do and I couldn’t think of a better reason to do it than to raise money for this lovely charity. “I have a family friend whose mother was looked after at the hospice, and they have spoken so highly of the care that she received. It’s a very worthy cause to jump out of a plane for!” The hospice provides care for people who have been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness. It has an 11-bed unit for palliative and end-of-life care. All of the rooms have en-suite facilities, a garden view and a private patio. Willow Wood also provides holistic therapies, a dementia café, home support and bereavement support. It costs around £3m a year to run the hospice. Mark Llewellin, vice-chair of Willow Wood’s board of trustees and its acting head of income generation, said: “Our sincere and grateful thanks go to the HURST team, who have pulled out all the stops to support Willow Wood this year. “After voting for us as their charity of the year, they have not only volunteered in our shops, distribution centre and at the hospice itself, but have also raised thousands of pounds with their many and varied challenges. “Their commitment has been fantastic and we are very proud to be associated with them. We wouldn’t be able to care for patients and their loved ones without supporters such as the team at HURST.” For more information on Willow Wood Hospice, visit www.willowwood.info Back to news Published 20 October 2022 Author Simon Brownbill Partner & Head of Practice Development Share Start your journey Call 0161 477 2474 imagine@hurst.co.uk Book a meeting Start your journey Your partners for growth, accountancy, audit, tax, corporate finance, digitalisation and more.

About People & Planet Our Business Culture & Values Global Connections Our People Our Clients Call 0161 477 2474 Search Back to news Home / News and Events / HURST Staff Rally To The Cause As NHS Appeals For Blood Donors HURST staff rally to the cause as NHS appeals for blood donors More than 20 staff at HURST have signed up to give blood in a special drive by our firm as the NHS urgently seeks new donors to come forward and help tackle a national blood shortage.NHS Blood and Transplant last month issued a plea for people with O negative and O positive-type blood to donate after stocks fell to ‘unprecedently low’ levels in England.O negative is a universal blood type which can be given to anyone. For this reason, it is used in emergencies or when a patient’s blood type is unknown and is carried by air ambulances and emergency vehicles.O positive is the most common type of blood – around 35 per cent of the population has it and it can be given to any male and all females over childbearing age.A total of 24 people at HURST have so far signed up to take part in NHS Blood and Transplant donor sessions at Stockport County FC’s stadium on Friday, August 9 and Friday, August 30.The initiative is being spearheaded by Amy Devereux and Danielle Tierney, of HURST Corporate Finance.Amy said: “Quite a number of people at HURST have given blood on an individual basis in the past, and we thought it would be a good idea to undertake a firm-wide drive.“We’re really pleased with the fantastic response we’ve had from across all departments and roles, and we are continuing to promote the sessions through an internal video and marketing campaign, as the more people who volunteer the better.“A number of those who have signed up have donated previously, but quite a lot are fresh donors.“It only takes around an hour for the appointment in total and around five to 10 minutes in the donation chair to give one unit of blood – it’s a really simple process. It can be daunting for first-timers, but it doesn’t hurt and is a friendly, relaxing experience.“Probably everyone knows someone who has needed blood at some time, so it’s a massively important cause.“The NHS says each donation can save or improve up to three lives, so our group as it stands will be helping 72 people.”Anyone aged 17-65 who is generally fit and well and weighs between 50kg and 158kg can give blood. Around two-thirds of blood donated in England is used to treatmedical conditions including anaemia, cancer and blood disorders. Nearly a third is used in surgery and emergencies, including childbirth.Suzi Browne from NHS Blood and Transplant said: “We’re delighted to see the response of staff at HURST in answering our call for blood donors and booking in to donate in Stockport.“We hope that the fantastic efforts of this group will inspire others in the local community to come forward and give blood, as well as other businesses to support their employees who wish to donate.“We need 200,000 new donors every year to help save lives and replace those no longer able to donate.”For more information about giving blood, visit www.blood.co.uk.Pictured: HURST partner Simon Brownbill, who is a regular blood donor.

About People & Planet Our Business Culture & Values Global Connections Our People Our Clients Call 0161 477 2474 Search Back to news Home / News and Events / HURST Team Gear Up For Tough Mudder Charity Challenge HURST team gear up for Tough Mudder charity challenge Almost 30 staff at HURST are gearing up for a gruelling Tough Mudder challenge to raise money for Manchester charity 42nd Street. A team of 27 will take undertake the obstacle course at Manchester’s Heaton Park on Saturday, July 13. 42nd Street, which supports the wellbeing and mental health of young people, is our charity of the year for the second year running. Four partners will be among those taking part in Tough Mudder, which tests strength, stamina and mental grit over a 10km course featuring 20 obstacles. Lisa Everett, an associate manager in our business services team who is organising our involvement in the event, said: “42nd Street is a remarkable charity which is dedicated to providing crucial support to young people navigating the challenges of stress and mental health. “It stands as a beacon of hope for those in need, and the money we raise will make a real difference to its ability to provide vital support, counselling and resources. “We want to raise as much as possible, with all donations going straight to the charity. As a firm, we are committed to making a positive impact, not only on the business landscape but also on the lives of those in our community, and we are eager to contribute to 42nd Street’s fantastic work through our collective action.” Over the past 12 months, 42nd Street has supported 6,000 people aged 11-25 across Greater Manchester to understand the issues they face and develop positive coping strategies, and more than 20,000 in the last four years. It has a purpose-built hub and a creative venue in Manchester as well as an online platform. The charity employs around 100 qualified practitioners such as social workers, youth workers, artists, counsellors, therapists and psychologists, who support people with a range of free and confidential services, including one-to-one counselling, group work, online sessions, cognitive behavioural therapy and creative art-based activities. It is heavily reliant on donations as it is only partially funded by the NHS. Chief executive Simone Spray said: “With the needs of young people being so huge at the moment, we are always looking for new ways to meet demand and offer young people assistance that works for them and addresses their unique needs. “Our partnership with HURST has enabled us to support more young people, notably through our creative programme at our venue, The Horsfall. Young people have been able to work alongside professional artists and mental health practitioners to produce and exhibit incredible work whilst addressing their mental health challenges and learning coping mechanisms.” Among our other fundraising activities for 42nd Street will be a golf day at Stockport Golf Club this month. You can support our fundraising for 42nd Street by donating via the following link here.

About People & Planet Our Business Culture & Values Global Connections Our People Our Clients Call 0161 477 2474 Search Back to news Home / News and Events / Duo Promoted In Business Services Team Duo promoted in business services team Two members of our business services team who joined HURST as graduate trainees have been promoted. Tom Hooper and Jack Pritchard have become associate managers. After graduating from the University of Nottingham with a degree in history and American studies, Tom joined HURST in September 2018. He works with clients across numerous sectors, including manufacturing, construction, hotel management, training and digital marketing. His role includes completing consolidated accounts and reporting on audit findings to the boards of companies, as well as leading on-site teams. Tom is also a member of our audit, innovation and methodology team, which is exploring how the firm can best leverage AI and other modern tools. He said: “It’s great to be promoted and for my hard work to be recognised. I’m looking forward to being further involved as we grow and continue to modernise as a business, and working to set an example for our audit teams, just as I was motivated by the great people ahead of me. “As an introduction to the world of business, working in audit is a great option. It gives you the opportunity to get out there and see all kinds of businesses and meet all kinds of people. It’s challenging work, but rewarding.” Jack graduated from the University of Leeds with a degree in accountancy and finance, and joined us in September 2019. He is involved in audits, statutory accounts preparation work and corporation tax compliance on behalf of clients in sectors including insurance, construction and sport. He said: “I was initially drawn to HURST because of its stellar reputation in the north west. The culture of the firm and the welcoming nature of everyone involved really stood out to me and made coming to HURST an easy decision. “Working at HURST is extremely rewarding. We have a vast range of clients across various industries, meaning every job is differing. The supportive team, interesting and challenging work and emphasis on continuous development and innovation mean HURST is a really fulfilling place to work. “I’m excited by my promotion. It reflects my hard work over the past five years and the firm’s recognition of my contribution.
