South West accountancy, tax and business advisory firm Milsted Langdon has promoted Martin Johnson to partner, recognising his dedication and extensive expertise having joined in 2007 as an apprentice.
During his 17 years at the firm, which has an office in Bristol, Martin, pictured, has worked in a range of roles, most recently as general practice director. 
Having quickly established himself as an integral member of the team shortly after joining he obtained his ACCA membership initially before recently becoming a member of the ICAEW.
He has continued to develop his skills and knowledge, becoming a trusted adviser to many clients across the South West and further afield.
Milsted Langdon said he had risen through the ranks based on “the invaluable guidance and support he provides to clients across a broad range of sectors, but particularly in the agricultural and rural affairs sector”.
The firm added that his first-hand experience allowed him to provide practical, tailored advice to owner-managed businesses and partnerships in this sector, helping them to thrive in an ever-changing agricultural landscape.
He is also a professional member of both the Country Land and Business Association (CLA) and the Agricultural Law Association (ALA), reflecting his commitment to supporting the rural community.
Martin said: “Having joined as an apprentice, my career has thrived at Milsted Langdon, where I have developed excellent long-standing relationships with my clients in the process, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with them to support their growth and success.”
Milsted Langdon People Partner Rachel Hotham added: “Martin’s promotion is well deserved and we are thrilled to have him join the Partnership.
“The fact that Martin joined the firm from college and has reached his goal of becoming a partner is a fantastic success story and testament to our learning and development initiatives in supporting his career ambitions.
“Further, his specialist knowledge in the agricultural and rural affairs sector, combined with his hands-on approach, has been invaluable to our clients and the firm.”
Milsted Langdon, which also has offices in Bath, London, Taunton and Yeovil, employs around 200 people offering a wide range of business services.
These include routine compliance matters, specialist tax advice and planning, corporate finance, business intelligence, insolvency, forensic accounting and mediation services.
