Ryecroft Glenton (RG), the leading North of England business advisory firm, is welcoming eight new team members across its Audit and Assurance and Accounts and Business Services service lines.
The new recruits reflect RG’s commitment to attracting top talent and supporting the next generation of professionals as they embark on their careers in the business advisory sector.
The firm has strengthened its audit team with the addition of two Audit Seniors, Vashenka Naidoo and Anton Vassilounis.
Vashenka joins RG with seven years of audit experience as a Chartered Accountant from South Africa. Having previously worked with a ‘Big 4’ firm, Vashenka brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the team.
Anton, a recently qualified Certified Accountant, joins the firm from a local practice in Darlington, where he honed his skills and developed an understanding of the audit landscape.
In addition to these senior appointments, RG welcomes four graduate trainees who have begun their training contracts to become Chartered Accountants.
Emily Halsall and James Bell join the firm’s Accounts and Business Services service line. Emily holds a History degree from Newcastle University, while James recently graduated with an Accounting and Finance degree from the same institution.
Jake Macintosh and Connor Priest strengthen the Audit and Assurance service line. Jake holds a Master’s in Accounting and Finance from Northumbria University, while Connor is an Economics and Finance graduate from Newcastle University.
Further expanding RG’s team, two trainees are studying for their Accounting Technician Qualification (AAT). Stephanie Roots has joined the Accounts and Business Services service line and will now be commencing her AAT studies. Stephanie brings valuable experience from her previous role in the finance department of a financial services firm.
Alex Shipsey is continuing his AAT studies at RG and has joined the firm’s specialist Agriculture team. Alex, who has already made significant progress in his training, arrives from a smaller practice and is eager to develop his expertise in this specialist sector.
Peter Glenton, Partner at Ryecroft Glenton said: “We are thrilled to welcome such a talented and diverse group of individuals to RG. Their ambition and enthusiasm for building their careers with us is clear, and they are excellent examples of the kind of talent RG attracts.
“As a firm with more than 120 years of history, we believe it is essential to keep our eyes firmly on the future, both in the way we advise our clients and in the way we invest in our people. By nurturing and developing the next generation of professionals, we are ensuring that RG remains at the forefront of delivering the best possible service and advice.”

Each of our new recruits brings something special to the firm, and we are excited to watch them grow and develop with us as they build their careers in the industry.”
