The new Exeter hub is the second-largest office in the firm’s network, which also includes bases in Plymouth, Bristol, Truro, Torquay, Cheltenham and Bath as well as sites in the Midlands.

"Winslade Park provides the environment and setting for us to continue to attract the best talent, support our clients and local communities and continue to be a leading accountancy firm in the mid-market.”
