Accountancy practice Creaseys has poached a new client manager from another firm based in the town.

The company has hired Maria Gammon as a client manager in its corporate and business division.

It recruited her from international network RSM, formerly Baker Tilly, which is also based in Tunbridge Wells.

Ashford-born Miss Gammon was an accounts controller at Kreston Reeves, originally joining the firm when it was known as Reeves & Neylan in 2006.

It comes after Creaseys promoted Lizzie Parker and Mike Foreman to client manager and assistant client manager respectively last month, also to the corporate and business division.
