Last year, our business was not only named one of the best places to work in the UK, but were ranked in the top 5 accountancy practices to work for in the UK. Both achievements wouldn’t have been possible without our passionate team, who continue to exceed expectations. That’s why we are pleased to kick the year off with some well-deserved recognition.
Scott Heath, Chief Executive Officer said, “I am thrilled to see so many of the team from across different departments continue to develop and grow their career. At DJH Mitten Clarke, we encourage ambition, and it is essential that opportunities are created for both learning and progression.”
“Our team work incredibly hard, and it’s important to ensure achievements are recognised and celebrated, -.” Scott continued.
“I’d like to congratulate each and every one of them as they take the next step in their careers, and thank them for their hard work and dedication.”
So who’s celebrating…
