Top Accountancy Firm Champions Cord

A leading accountancy firm has named Cord as its Charity of the Year.

Chartered accountants and financial experts Harrison Beale and Owen already has close ties with Cord after acting as our auditors for more than 14 years and Mark Ashfield, a director at HB&O, said the firm was delighted to develop the links further.

“Thanks to our relationship with Cord we have witnessed at close quarters the effects of the important work the charity carries out in war-ravaged nations. With this in mind we wanted to do everything we could to support them, and this seemed like the next logical step,’ he added.

“We are delighted to have named Cord as our chosen charity and we are looking forward to working closely with them on a number of projects which should help to promote their work and raise valuable funds in the process.”

Harrison Beale and Owen, which has offices in Leamington and Coventry, will run a year of events including quiz nights, a charity golf day, a race night and an end of year dinner.

Brian Wakley, chief executive of Cord, said: “We are extremely pleased that Harrison Beale and Owen has decided to lend us their support.’

“It is a fantastic arrangement, because as well as providing extra funds for the charity, events organised by HB&O also allow us to reach their staff and clients,’ he added.
