Financial services provider Hawksford has opened a new office in London following the acquisition of the corporate services business of audit and accountancy practice SH Landes.
Hawksford will provide specialist corporate services from the new office, on New Oxford Street. The firm said the acquisition strengthens its service offering – providing administration, accounting and reporting, company secretarial and related back-office services to private and corporate clients internationally.
The office will remain under the leadership of Steven Landes, a Chartered Accountant with over 30 years’ experience in the international financial sector, who worked at Ernst & Young before setting up SH Landes in 1993.
Hawksford Chief Executive Michel van Leeuwen (pictured) commented: “This move gives us a strong presence in one of the world's leading international finance centres. It builds on our international expertise to extend our service offering to UK-based structures.
"Drawing on the experience from our new London team, our clients will be able to utilise this new office, allowing them to create flexible structures based on their requirements.”
