The Coventry-based accountancy firm has promoted Debra Knighton from assurance and accounts senior manager to Director of Assurance.

“I’m delighted to have taken on this role at Spencer Gardner Dickins which is a firm which is enjoying really exciting times,” she said.
“Only last year we expanded our offices on the Coventry Innovation Village and despite the tough economic conditions we are operating in we are continuing to grow.
“I’m pleased to be a part of these exciting developments and helping to strengthen the firm’s reputation and our support for business and private clients across the region.”
Away from the workplace, Debra is a keen runner and has completed four marathons in recent years in aid of Shelter and Spencer Gardner Dickins’ chosen charity Myton Hospices.
