Azets, the UK top 10 accountancy and advisory group, has expanded its specialised team with the addition of Joe Noon as director in tax, whilst Adam Bickell joins Azets Wealth Management as director.

Azets’ offices in the North West include Bolton, Burnley, Lancaster, Manchester, Preston, Stockport and Kendal.

 Within his new role as transfer pricing director, Joe will support the growth of the division.

Joining from Deloitte, he has worked with a range of clients, from multi-billion dollar publicly listed multinationals with significant overseas presence to mid-sized private groups that have a developed presence in a handful of territories or are planning to expand overseas. 

 Adam joins Azets Wealth Management to support the development of a fully integrated wealth and financial planning service for businesses, directors, entrepreneurs, individuals, and families across England.

With over 20 years of experience, Adam is a wealth management & private banking professional working with wealthy individuals, families and business leaders throughout the north of England, specialising in high-value court protection awards and deputy accounts. 

Mark Parkinson, CEO of Azets Wealth Management said: “With the growth in demand for financial planning advice, from investments to inheritance tax and retirement planning, we’re delighted to expand our specialist team who are experts in strategic wealth management. We look forward to continuing to develop our skills and team across the UK with the addition of Adam and Joe.”

Susanna Cassey, regional managing director of Azets in the North West, added: "We are delighted to welcome Joe and Adam to the team during an exciting period of growth for the region.

"Their specialised expertise will further strengthen our tax and wealth management teams, as we continue to deliver personalised and comprehensive advice that adds real value to our clients.”
