South West accountancy group PKF Francis Clark, which last year opened its first office in Bristol, has appointed experienced professional services marketer Mandy Reynolds as its new director of marketing.
Mandy, pictured with PKF Francis Clark managing partner Andrew Richards, has joined from regional law firm Stephens Scown, where she was spent just over 10 years as marketing director. 
While at Stephens Scown, which has offices in Exeter, Truro and St Austell, Mandy was instrumental in changing the firm’s culture, improving employee engagement and raising is brand profile, which resulted in turnover doubling in six years.
Prior to that she spent more than nine years in Big Four accountancy group KPMG’s Bristol office as senior marketing manager. She also worked in PR agencies in Bristol and Bath, handling accounts representing major brands such as Xerox and several national house builders.
PKF Francis Clarke said Mandy brought a wealth of experience to the role.
Mandy said: “I am excited by this new challenge and am looking forward to making a difference in my new role. I have worked alongside PKF Francis Clark in the past and have always enjoyed the contact with the firm.
“It feels like a natural progression for the next stage of my career and I’ve been given a wonderful warm welcome.”
PKF Francis Clark managing partner Andrew Richards added: “We’re really thrilled that Mandy is joining our team. We have known her for a number of years and seen what a great job she has done at Stephens Scown. We have been impressed with her work and are certain she will help us to further develop our offering.”
PKF Francis Clark, which last year celebrated its centenary, said it opened in Bristol to fill a growing gap in the market and support mid-sized companies from family businesses through to those listed on the London Stock Exchanges Alternative Investment Market (AIM).
The firm employs more than 750 people and 57 partners across its offices in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire. Clients include the Eden Project, Bristol Sport and Brittany Ferries.
