STAFF from a financial firm with offices on Burn Lane in Hexham have been shortlisted for two prestigious awards.

The tax team at Armstrong Watson are in the running in the ‘best tax practice in a regional firm’ and ‘best tax investigations team’ categories at the National Taxation Awards.

The awards recognise the best in the taxation industry, celebrating excellence and promoting the highest standards possible.

After winning the award for ‘best tax practice in a regional firm’ in 2015 and being a finalist in the ‘best tax investigations team’ last year, the business is hoping to scoop another two accolades.

Tax partner at Armstrong Watson Graham Poles said: “Being shortlisted for another two prestigious awards is testament to our tax team and the work they do in supporting our clients.

“Our team is able to support our clients in what is an increasingly complex area for any individual or business.”

The winners will be announced at a ceremony in the London Hilton Park Lane Hotel on May 18.
