LOCAL business lenders from across Essex took the opportunity to meet and discuss their plans for the future at Baker Tilly’s recent ‘Meet the Team’ event in Chelmsford.

More than 100 people attended the evening at Hyland House, and met staff and Partners from Baker Tilly’s office in Chelmsford.

Those attending also had the opportunity to network with other members of the local business community, as well as meet new team members following a significant expansion of the office.

More recently, the office has become home to Baker Tilly’s Outsourcing team following their relocation from London.

The team provides outsourcing in areas such as finance, HR, payroll, IT, marketing and procurement, and is now expanding their service to clients in the local area.

Richard White, Office Managing Partner for Baker Tilly’s office in Chelmsford, said: "The evening was a fantastic success and it was great to see so many representatives from the Essex business community coming along to enjoy the occasion.

"The Chelmsford office has recently recruited a number of new senior members of staff, and we see this move as further proof of our commitment to retain a significant presence within the county as well as continue to play an important part within the local community."
