Chester & North Wales Society announces new Chairman
George Wood of Bennett Brooks & Co Ltd has been appointed Chairman of the Chester & North Wales Society of Chartered Accounts for the year 2021/22. He takes the reins from Sue Harris of Champion (Chester), and in doing so, George makes history being the youngest ever Chartered Accountant to be appointed as Chairman of the Society. George qualified as a Chartered Accountant at Mazars LLP in Liverpool before transferring to New York where he worked across the audit and transaction services teams for listed entities. George joined Bennett Brooks & Co Ltd in April 2017 and runs an audit portfolio of local and national audit clients as well as supporting several North West businesses to float on the London Stock Market. With offices in Llandudno, Chester and Northwich, and other offices outside of the region, Bennett Brooks & Co Ltd is one of the leading independent practices and George is looking forward to sharing his experiences with businesses and society members.

George will continue to support the Society’s members in Cheshire & North Wales, which is the local branch for the Liverpool Society of Chartered Accountants and we have always had a very close relationship there. His primary role will be to oversee the delivery of a range of services for members as well as representing the interests of Chartered Accountants within the wider business community. He will be supported in this role by an active committee of members from other accountancy practices in the region, and of course from the LSCA. George noted: “The ICAEW and the Liverpool Society have been a great support over the recent challenging times and to be given the opportunity to become the youngest Chairman of the Chester & North Wales Society is an honour, and I shall be ensuring that locally we deliver support to our members. In such unprecedented times, my hope is that, along with my fellow society members, we have the opportunity to add value to the firms and accountants in the region.”
