Trowbridge-based chartered accountants Pearson May have a new partner.

The firm, which has offices in Wicker Hill, has appointed Martin Bridle, who first joined the practice in 1999, to the role.

He said: “I have really enjoyed working across a broad cross section of client business during my time with Pearson May and I now look forward to contributing to the management of the firm during a most exciting time of both change and opportunity.”

The practice is also welcoming back Ann Lydiard, who had worked for Pearson May for about 20 years before leaving. She will be working in the firm’s private client division.

Partner Jacqui Bowden said: “As well as being a chartered accountant, Ann is now a chartered tax adviser and will be working on personal tax issues and tax planning.”
