Staff at accountants Alextra Group are celebrating a recent expansion – by being shortlisted in the South Cheshire Chamber of Commerce awards.
The firm has just launched a Wealth Management division to compliment its growing accountancy practice.
Now they have been shortlisted in the Large Business of the Year category at the Chamber awards to be held at Crewe Hall on Friday November 23.
Three of the company’s four directors live in Nantwich and are active sponsors of local sports teams and community events, including Nantwich Cricket Club and Crewe & Nantwich Athletics Club.
And now they are the latest to throw their support as a commercial partner behind Nantwich Town FC.
Tim Crighton, commercial director of Nantwich Town, said: “We are delighted to welcome the Alextra Group as a new commercial partner of Nantwich Town.
“They often attend both games but also our Sports Dinners, so it is nice they have now taken a further step in our relationship.”
Keith Knight, founder and director of Alextra Group, said: “It’s been a pretty busy few months!
“We are delighted to have been shortlisted for the Business of the Year and are proud of the whole team.
“They are the people working closely with our clients and making sure business owners have full transparency and understanding of their accounts.
“We’re pleased to have launched our new website too and we’re determined to “keep business local” with our website suppliers, rather than use a large London or Manchester based agency.”
