Rachel is a Director at Thompson Wright Chartered Accountants, one of the leading firms of accountants in our region. She has worked in Staffordshire for over 20 years, the last 7 of which have been at TW. Rachel has extensive experience in advising clients over a variety of sectors and sizes, from manufacturing through to rural and agricultural businesses.
Rachel was appointed a Director in November 2020, and splits her time across TW’s Newcastle and Leek offices. In her time at Thompson Wright she has seen the firm grow from around 50 staff when she joined, to just over 100 today with the inclusion of their recently acquired Hale office. She puts much of the firm’s growth down to great team work, great communication and ‘going the extra mile’ for their clients.
Rachel is actively involved with her client businesses, and advises her clients in real time, rather than seeing her role as an annual meeting to discuss historic records. She has a keen interest in helping clients to understand their accounts, identifying tax saving measures and planning ahead to ensure that growth opportunities are identified and taken (including assisting clients to achieve grant funding of over £250k in recent years). She is a firm believer that her clients should have short, mid & long term goals, and ultimately benefit from the blood sweat and tears that they are putting into running their business.
Outside of work, Rachel lives in the Staffordshire Moorlands with her husband, two small children and trusty sausage dog. She is a general sports fan, with an emphasis on football (but isn’t disclosing her loyalties)!
Rachel is President of the Local Area Board for the Staffordshire Moorlands and regularly attends the Chambers Rural Business Forum.
