Evelyn Partners, the leading integrated wealth management and professional services group, has continued to invest in its Birmingham professional services team by making three significant appointments. Jayne Harrold joins as a partner focusing on environment tax, Mike Smith as an Associate Director in the business rates team and Katie Bradley as an Associate Director in the business outsourcing services team.
Jayne Harrold joins Evelyn Partners from PwC where she spent 11 years and had a national role leading the firm’s UK environmental tax team focussed on packaging, waste, energy, and resource taxes. Jayne leads and manages multi-territory projects delivering plastic packaging tax and other environmental tax advice.
Mike Smith joins from the Global Real Estate consultancy Cushman and Wakefield LLP where he was an Associate Director in the Midlands Birmingham Rating Team. He has a wealth of experience in challenging business rates tax assessments on behalf of both landlords and occupiers across a range of multiple commercial property asset types and sectors.
Katie Bradley joins from RSM where she was an Accounting and Financial Reporting Manager. She will lead on growing the Evelyn Partners financial reporting service offering in the region and strengthens the business outsourcing service practice for the office.
Stephen Drew, Professional Services Regional Managing Partner at Evelyn Partners in Birmingham commented: “These significant appointments come at the end of a year of expansion for our professional services team in Birmingham, that now exceeds 100 people. Earlier in the year we moved into a new Birmingham office at the city’s landmark 103 Colmore Row and we are continuing to hire experienced people so that we can expand the range of services we are able to offer our clients in the West Midlands. I look forward to working closely with Jayne, Mike and Katie as we continue with our growth strategy in 2023.”
