Nexia UK member Saffery Champness rebrands and becomes Saffery
London, September 2023 Nexia member Saffery Champness, the accounting and advisory firm, has reached a major milestone in its 168-year history as it launches its refreshed brand and becomes: Saffery. Founded in 1855, Saffery is one of the oldest accounting firms in the UK to remain entirely independent, and its new brand and supporting visual identity – optimised for digital environments and experience – builds on this unparalleled heritage and positions the firm to grow and succeed alongside its clients into the future. The new brand also aligns the firm more closely with Nexia , reflecting an increasing focus on and demand for cross-border advice and services from globally mobile and multi-jurisdictional clients. Over its long history Saffery has been widely regarded as the pre-eminent adviser to private clients, their families and their business interests. This underpins the firm’s focus on tailored solutions and client relationships that stand the test of time. These principles have seen Saffery evolve to become a trusted partner to creative, innovative, dynamic organisations and individuals: from the biggest film and TV productions and international talent to entrepreneurial companies, corporates, real estate businesses and charitable entities. The Saffery network of 10 offices across the UK and Ireland – which together support a team that has grown to over 1,000 people focused on the firm’s core areas of expertise including Audit & Assurance, Business Advisory, Corporate Finance, Tax, Trusts, and VAT – all adopt the new branding from today. The firm’s independent fiduciary business, which has offerings in Guernsey, Switzerland, Dubai, and the Cayman Islands, has also rebranded as of today, moving forwards as Saffery Trust. Saffery has a long and proud history with Nexia and this new brand will launch immediately for their domestic business.
Matthew Burton, Managing Partner of Saffery, commented: “This is a hugely exciting time for the firm. A key pillar and commitment of our four-year business plan was to seize the opportunity to revisit our brand to better reflect the modern, forward looking firm that we have created. This includes our international outlook, supported by our relationship with our Nexia colleagues around the world. Launching a fresh brand, alongside our new employee value proposition, was an absolute strategic priority for us and I am immensely grateful to all those involved for their efforts and for delivering a brand that everyone in the firm can be proud to be part of.” Tim Wilson OBE, Chief Executive of Nexia, commented: “We are delighted Saffery has chosen to align its brand more formally with Nexia and congratulate all involved in the project. This combination of Nexia and Saffery demonstrates concrete optimism for international business via the Nexia network and enables a continued best-in-class service to the upper mid-market clients of both organisations for all international assurance, tax and advisory services.”
