Bolton-based Cowgill Holloway has experienced 10% growth in fee income in the last 12 months, as a result of the launch of its wealth management offer, 38% growth in tax, continued corporate finance activity and a large volume of business recovery work.  
 
Commenting on the past year of growth, Managing Partner Paul Stansfield says: "We have had another good year of growth and, as a direct result of the increasing volume of work we are taking on from owner-managed businesses across the North West, we are implementing the next step in our strategy and have just opened for business in Manchester. This is a very exciting time for the firm and the opening of our second North West office fits with our plans to grow the firm organically."  
 
"Our tax team has been strengthened by the appointment of Meera Parmer as partner, who has assisted in the firm achieving its tax growth. We have also benefited from working on VAT savings work within the care home sector and have undertaken an increased amount of overseas tax planning work."  
 
"We are extremely positive about the year ahead, and with the confident, entrepreneurial spirit in the region, we remain focused on providing financial solutions to owner managed businesses across the North West and growing our service offering within this market."
