THE David Verney Partnership, based in Ipswich, is to merge with the Ipswich office of Ensors Chartered Accountants in St Nicholas Street.

David Verney will join Ensors as a consultant with immediate effect and will continue to be involved in his clients’ affairs, working closely with the Ensors team.

Ian Brookman, managing partner at Ensors, which also has offices in Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge, Huntingdon and Saxmundham, said: “We are really pleased to be welcoming David to Ensors.

“We share a number of fundamental synergies with The David Verney Partnership; both firms pride themselves on working closely with clients, really getting to understand their goals and taking the time to help them achieve them.”

Mr Verney added: “I am very pleased to be joining the Ensors team and see it as a beneficial move for clients.

“In today’s increasingly complex and regulated world, there is a growing need to establish specialist teams that have the expertise and capacity to deliver specific advice, which I cannot match on my own.”
