Beever and Struthers has become the sixth UK-based firm to join mid-tier international network, HLB International.

Phil Roberts, managing partner of Beever and Struthers, said: 'Our acceptance by HLB International was hard won and testimony to the blue-chip service we provide. We believe there is considerable potential for bringing international transactions to the northwest of England and to increase the number of our clients with overseas interests.'

Established in Manchester more than 100 years ago, Beever and Struthers has 22 partners and over 160 employees and offers accounting, audit and assurance, tax and business advisory services.

In a statement, HLB UK said Beever and Struthers 'is the ideal profile for HLB being a well-established regional firm with quality at its core and enhances the geographic coverage available across the UK'.
