Property agents and auctioneers CPBigwood have strengthened their internal financial systems.
It comes as the firm continues its growth push, recently announcing new office openings in Loughborough and London in addition to their two offices in Birmingham, and in Stratford-upon-Avon and Henley-in-Arden.
CPBigwood, produced from the merger in autumn last year of Curry & Partners and Bigwood, has appointed Ian Tullett to the new role of financial controller.
He arrives from barristers No5 Chambers where he was finance manager. He has 15 year experience in the legal sector in financial roles.
In 2011 CPBigwood’s auction sales alone totalled more than £46 million, 18 per cent up on 2010.
Nigel Curry, managing partner, said: “CPBigwood has grown in leaps and bounds, so it is important that our financial controls match that expansion.
“Ian is an experienced operator and we are very pleased to have him on board. In the past we have worked via a part-time finance director, but, with the increased demands of the business, this needed to be addressed. Hence we have appointed Ian to a new fulltime role.”
Mr Tullett said: “It is fantastic to be joining an organisation with such positivity and drive.
“CPBigwood has ambitious plans and I am looking forward to being at the centre of them.”
From Stafford, Mr Tullett is a graduate of Staffordshire University.
