Leading Cumbrian accountant Armstrong Watson has announced the promotion of a chartered accountant in its corporate finance team.
Darcie Rae, a former Armstrong Watson accounting trainee, has been named senior manager.
After joining Armstrong Watson in 2007, she went on to become a chartered accountant in 2014, working in the audit team, before moving to the firm’s corporate finance team in 2015.
Darcie has been involved in seven completed transactions in the last 10 months, including the sale of Integrity Office Limited, a Carlisle IT solutions company, that was taken over by Eco Communications Limited, a nationwide firm that operates from bases in Cumbria and Scotland.
Darcie said: “There are some fantastic businesses in and around Cumbria.
“Whilst many strategic decisions have been delayed or put on hold during the pandemic, we are seeing more movement now.
“There are lots of opportunities for businesses in Cumbria looking to buy or sell and being able to advise and help with those transactions is a really exciting prospect for the team.”
