New base for city accountants

An Exeter accountancy firm is moving its 27-strong team into new offices in the heart of the city, marking a big investment in the local area.

Gravita, which took over long-standing firm Haines Watts Western earlier this year, is relocating staff from its Southernhay West base to nearby Keble House in Southernhay Gardens.

The new premises offer modern facilities, bigger meeting spaces and open-plan areas to support the growing team.

Some members of the Exeter office have worked with the firm for more than 25 years, and Gravita says the move underlines its long-term commitment to both staff and clients in the South West.

Regional Lead Partner Matt Bracher said: “This is the next stage in the evolution of our Exeter office. The new space will give colleagues a modern working environment and provide the flexibility we need to support clients as business practices continue to change.”

Exeter Partner Ben de Cruz added: “The South West is home to some of the UK’s most entrepreneurial businesses, and we’re proud to be investing in the future of our talented team here in Exeter.”

Gravita, which also has offices in London, Oxford and Essex, works with small and medium-sized businesses, charities and private clients.
