New partner's passion for challenge

Oct 14 2009 by Peter McCusker, The Journal

ACCOUNTANTS and business advisors unw have a new partner in the firm's audit and assurance department following a series of new client wins.

Michael Morris was previously with Deloitte where he lead their entrepreneurial business practice and is recognised as a leading expert in the provision of advice to privately-owned limited companies and the legal sector.

He said: “The opportunity to join unw was immediately attractive to me.

“The firm’s focus on mid-tier organisations based in the North East and emphasis upon providing expert advice within a competitive pricing structure combine to produce a formula that I know will work.

“Unw is now recognised within the market place as a leader in this regard and I am looking forward to the challenge of maintaining the recent momentum they have achieved.”

Andrew Wilson, of unw, said: “Michael’s experience and expertise readily complement our existing skill set and he will be a great addition to our team.

“His passion for Iron Man challenges, triathlons and marathons is well known and I will be keeping a close eye on his training and offering up the occasional word of encouragement, but participating no further!”

New client wins at unw include Newcastle-based Mill Garages, Ramside Hotel Group of Durham, Gateshead firm Bastion Security and Codeworks of Sunderland.
