Gauntlet Group’s managing director, Roger Gaunt, says: “We are always pleased to welcome new appointed representatives and their situations are always very different, but ones that we can work around and with, thanks to our flexible approach. This is clearly demonstrated in the case of Askews, which has identified a niche and allowed us to fill it through an appointed representative relationship. We hope more accountancy practices will follow their lead.”
