A leading accounts and financial advisor says staff will be giving the option to work from home or the office once Covid restrictions are lifted.

Kreston Reeves, which has offices in Canterbury, Chatham and Sandwich, has also confirmed it is to open a new London office hub in Shoreditch.

The firm employs more than 500 people across eight offices in Kent, London and Sussex.

Nigel Fright, managing partner, said: “Over the past few years we have proudly led the way in adapting to modern agile working practices, supporting the needs of our clients and people. With the coronavirus pandemic solidifying that shift in the way we work, our people can use that experience and skill to work seamlessly across our office footprint, from client sites and home.

“We have asked for and listened to feedback from our people over the past few months and we anticipate working about two days a week in the office with other time spent with clients and working remotely.

“We’re committed to our purpose in ‘guiding our clients, colleagues and communities to a brighter future’, and that requires flexibility and balance in where and how we work. Our people work hard to deliver the best possible client service so it’s important to create a working environment that meets their changing needs.”

The new London office will see its existing site at Chiswell Street in EC1 move to Shoreditch High Street.
