Kathryn Mumford said: 

"I'm delighted to have joined Keith and the team at Bennett Brooks in Southport.

"Having run my own practice and also working for a larger firm in Manchester, each has given me valuable insights and experience.

"What has always been most important to me, however, is building strong relationships with clients and helping them achieve their goals.

"When the opportunity arose to join Bennett Brooks, it felt like a natural fit.  I was immediately drawn to the firm's values, its friendly and approachable culture, and its genuine commitment to putting clients first.

"As an independent, family-run practice, Bennett Brooks offers the kind of personal service that clients really value. We take the time to understand both their businesses and their ambitions, providing practical advice and becoming trusted advisers throughout their journey.

"That's exactly the way I enjoy working and supporting clients.

"I’m really enjoying being here and getting to know both the area and the people.

"Southport has a thriving professional services community, with some excellent accountants, solicitors, mortgage brokers and financial advisers.

"It’s a sector that often goes under the radar in Southport, and I’m keen to see us work more closely together to raise awareness of the expertise we have here in Southport and across the wider region.

"Southport BID has been hugely supportive in helping us do that, through their networking events and initiatives such as the Your Southport Stars Awards. We’re looking forward to continuing to work closely with the BID and playing an active role in the local business community."

Keith Porter said: 

“Here at bennettbrooks in Southport we have a very friendly, welcoming approach where we know our clients well and get to know what they need to succeed.

“If they have a question they want to ask or an idea they need guidance to progress, then we’re here on the end of a phone, or happy to welcome people into our office.

“Those positive relationships with people are so important to us. Lots of our clients have been with us for many, many years.

"We work with a wide range of clients from sole traders who are just getting started, to the larger corporate clients

“We work on succession planning, tax planning, and ensure that people and businesses have the right support in place to secure the long-term outcomes that are right for them.

“Kathryn coming on board with her experience and her personal skills comes at the perfect time for us and allows us to continue to grow.

“We rarely advertise - our clients predominantly join us through positive recommendations and word-of-mouth.

“People know exactly what they can expect from us.

“Moving to Duke Street has been very positive. The office on Hoghton Street was previously occupied by Hadley & Co Accountants, which we took over.

“As we’ve grown, we needed to find somewhere that is accessible and still within Southport town centre, but with more space to be able to work and to welcome clients.

“As soon as this building became available we thought it was perfect for what we needed.

“Our clients are predominantly from the Southport, Liverpool City Region and Lancashire area, although technology means we can provide an excellent service to people everywhere - we have one client based in Australia.”
