Leading North West accountancy and business advisory firm, Cowgills, has strengthened its Business Recovery team with the appointment of a new director.
Keeley Lord joins the team as an insolvency practitioner after 16 years with Begbies Traynor. A Fellow of the ACCA, Keeley qualified as a Chartered Certified Accountant in 2014 and brings extensive expertise in corporate insolvency, restructuring, and turnaround strategies.
Her appointment comes at a time of significant growth for the Business Recovery team, following the recruitment of Steve Marshall as a Case Administrator and the promotions of Janette Elliott to Director and Hannah Brown to Assistant Manager earlier this year.
Craig Johns, Partner at Cowgills, said: “We are delighted to welcome Keeley to the team. She brings a wealth of experience, a proven track record, and a broad range of specialisms that will allow us to support even more businesses across the North West and beyond.”
Commenting on her new role, Keeley said: “Cowgills has an outstanding reputation in the region, and I’m excited to join at such a pivotal time in their growth journey. My passion lies in helping businesses navigate challenging circumstances and get back on the right track. I’m looking forward to working with the team to deliver the best possible outcomes for our clients.”
Further bolstering its expansion, Cowgills recently completed the acquisition of Wigan-based accountancy practice NRB, increasing its total headcount to over 250 employees across the region.
