National accountancy group Tilney Smith & Williamson has continued to invest in its Bristol office by appointing Mark Bishop as an audit partner.
Mark, pictured, joins the firm’s audit team from rival Grant Thornton, where he spent more than 17 years specialising in working with fast-growth and entrepreneurial technology clients and was also its head of audit culture. 
He has experience of working with businesses in the UK and internationally, having spent time in the US, and has advised privately owned, private equity-backed and listed businesses.
Head of Tilney Smith & Williamson’s audit and assurance department, Guy Swarbreck, said he was delighted to welcome to Mark to the team as the firm prepares to rebrand to Evelyn Partners in the summer.
“This appointment recognises our commitment to carry on bringing senior talent to the group to provide the best possible support for our clients,” he said.
“We continue to see growing interest in our audit services and are hiring outstanding partners like Mark to strengthen our offering.
“Mark has a great track record working with exciting clients and I look forward to working closely with him as we continue to grow.”
Mark added: “I’m hugely excited to be joining such a fast-moving business, and one that has a genuinely different approach to both its clients and its people.
“The South West is one of the most dynamic regions in the UK and desperately needs locally delivered services from a strong firm that is solely focused on working with mid-market businesses, backed up by the support of a national group with a consistent agenda.
“I’m hugely privileged to be joining a firm that shares that vision and has the ambition to make it a reality.”
