Ian started his career with Haines Watts before going on to become office senior partner at RSM Robson Rhodes, BDO and KPMG.
Russell Turner, regional MD for Yorkshire, said: “To attract a heavyweight business advisor of Ian’s calibre is a genuine coup.
“With more than 35 years’ experience in this region, Ian’s appointment demonstrates our commitment to develop and attract top talent in order to ensure we can provide the high quality advice and support regional businesses and their owners deserve.”
Ian said: “Azets is fantastically placed to support aspiring regional businesses and their owners with expertise that will support them along the full growth lifecycle.
“With growth comes additional complexity for our clients and, as a national firm, we are able to call upon national specialists as well as provide international reach.”
