Reading: James Cowper promotes two new directors

Thames Valley and south coast accountants James Cowper has promoted two new directors: Sarah Robert who is head of James Cowper’s expatriate services and Stuart Williams who is part of the firm’s award-winning corporate finance practice.

Williams joined James Cowper in 2003 and its corporate finance team in 2007. He has built considerable experience in advising on the buying and selling of companies, having advised on over 50 transactions totaling more than £400 million.
