The expansion will see private equity backed Azets strengthen presence in Kent, bringing the total office count to six locations across the county and over 150 staff. It is a key part of a strategic decision to expand the group’s physical presence across the southeast.

The new Azets office will be headed up by partner Dean Yorath and private client partner Nicola MacAulay, who together have more than three decades of local knowledge and experience, having previously worked in the Tunbridge Wells’ offices of Creaseys and S&W respectively before they joined Azets a few years ago. Staff from across Kent will be able to use the new TW Azets office as a base.

Based at Lonsdale Gate close to the famous Pantiles, the new Tunbridge Wells office will have a full service offering with access to Azets specialists across the group, and will focus on clients across Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Crowborough and the wider Wealden district.
