James Cowper Kreston Accountants has acquired new offices in Reading. James Cowper Kreston has taken 6,000 sq ft of space at Reading Bridge House. The building had recently undergone extensive refurbishment including a new reception and common parts. Reading Bridge benefits from being stepping distance from the brand new £897 million pound redeveloped Reading Station.
The award winning accountancy practice has 200 staff in offices based in Reading, Newbury, Henley-on-Thames, Oxford and Southampton. The firm provides advice to a wide range of businesses and private tax clients, ranging from start-up ventures to blue chip plcs and private individuals.
Robert Holland, Managing Partner at James Cowper Kreston said: “James Cowper Kreston is the go to firm for entrepreneurial businesses and private individuals with complex tax affairs. Our teams in Reading and Southampton are growing following increasing demand for our services and these larger offices will enable our teams to continue to develop.”
Stephen Holt of Haslams who advised James Cowper Kreston on the acquisition commented “After considering the options, the newly refurbished Reading Bridge House was a very good fit for the requirement and their corporate image.
Reading’s road and rail links as well as the pending arrival of Crossrail in 2018 means that Reading continues to be an attractive option for companies looking to be well located within the Thames Valley.”
