Magma Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers has strengthened its senior team following the appointment of Paul Pownall, as head of operations.
A well-known figure across the Midlands business community, Paul recently completed a spell managing a successful members’ golf club but has now stepped back into the professional services arena to join the team at Magma, which has offices in Leicester and Rugby and employs over 100 professional advisers and support staff.
Paul’s recruitment comes on the back of several recent appointments made by the business over the recent months.
Mark Tuckwell, Magma’s managing partner, said: “Magma continues to enjoy growth across our teams and client base, and Paul’s wealth of experience will allow us to develop our internal processes and infrastructure. Being able to attract talented individuals like Paul is testament to the positive direction of the business and the ‘people-focussed’ culture Magma has achieved.”
In his new role, Paul will be responsible for managing the business’s HR, IT, Finance and Marketing professionals as well as helping to deliver further improvements in client service and operational efficiencies.
Paul added: “I have known and respected the team at Magma for many years, and the opportunity to join such a progressive practice in a role in which I can bring all of my previous experience is very exciting.”
Paul has worked across the East Midlands for over 35 years and is a keen golfer.
