One of the county's biggest accountants and business advisors has won a top prize at the annual Accounting Excellence Awards.

Kreston Reeves, which has offices in Canterbury, Chatham and Sandwich, won the Large Firm of the Year award, with judges praising the firm's "strong performance during an exceptionally challenging year".

It had previously won the award in 2018.

Nigel Fright, managing partner at Kreston Reeves, said: “This award is worthy external recognition of all the effort and sacrifice that everyone at Kreston Reeves continues to make as we work through the personal, professional and organisational challenges wrought by Covid, and now Brexit.”

Andrew Griggs, senior partner, added: “We are exceptionally proud of the way everyone has supported their clients and each other in a difficult year. This award is for everyone that makes Kreston Reeves the firm it is today.”

Kreston Reeves has seen turnover increase by 64% since 2016.
