Firm toasts Surrey businesses
23rd October 2008Smith & Williamson, the accountancy and financial services group, is excited to review the applications for the Toast of Surrey business awards and hopes to see much diversity across these companies.
Stephen Briggs, head of assurance and business services at the Guildford office commented: "Guildford and the surrounding area have many thriving and innovative businesses, and of course having the Surrey Research Park on our doorstep is a definite plus. The South East is known for its prosperity and its close business community and is showing resilience to the current economic turmoil."
Smith & Williamson enjoys the advantage of having an office in Guildford, as it ensures their corporate teams are ideally situated to benefit from the increasing personal wealth and expanding mid-corporate market in this area. With excellent transport links, clients can be serviced efficiently and effectively, whether they are based in the arc of Reading to Gatwick, the South West or Central London.
The firm works closely with other local professional practices and provides local seminars and topical publications on a regular basis to local businesses.
Smith & Williamson has recently launched a new entrepreneurs' platform "Enabling Entrepreneurs", which reflects the benefits of the firm's commitment to helping growth businesses realise their full potential.
Briggs adds: "We believe businesses should embrace this opportunity to have their efforts and their success recognised, and use it as a means of highlighting the vitality of businesses within the Guildford area even in the midst of the current credit crunch."
