New TaxAssist Accountants shop opens in Loughborough

18 July 2019

Carl Whitehead has opened his third TaxAssist Accountants shop joining his established premises in Long Eaton, Nottingham and Shepshed, Leicestershire.

Since joining TaxAssist Accountants as a member of staff, and subsequently becoming a director in partnership with former franchisee Phil Marriott in 2011, Carl Whitehead has seen his business continue to boom, hence his decision to open a third shop on Ashby Road in Loughborough.

“Working for Phil proved a fantastic way to build up my knowledge base and confidence in running a practice and to build a rapport with clients” explained Carl, who was 27 at the time, having worked his way up from accounts manager to training manger to practice manager before becoming a shareholder, director and franchisee.

“Since taking over as sole director in August 2017, with a well-established and highly experienced work force and a steady stream of new business, it was always my intention to open a third shop to compliment the two existing practices.

“When the ideal shop unit became available, I jumped at the chance. It is a very prominent shop with a large and eye-catching mural on the wall above our signage, so it’s difficult to miss! I would like to thank the TaxAssist Accountants Support Centre in Norwich for their help and assistance in setting up the shop, which looks great. I would encourage any clients interested in finding out more about our services to pop in for a free initial consultation.”

In addition to the new shop, Carl operates from Field Street in Shepshed and Derby Road in Long Eaton, where he looks after more than 400 clients.
