Westcotts announce partner promotion in Crediton office

Matt Melksham, Crediton office based Director at Westcotts, has just been made a Partner.

Matt joined the Westcotts family as a Director earlier this year to head up the Crediton office and support a growing number of clients in Mid Devon. Originally from the South West and with more than 23 years’ experience, Matt offers specialist expertise and advice across a diverse range of sectors.

A fellow member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, Matt has local knowledge and experience of agricultural, pharmaceutical, professional services, renewable energy, and hospitality businesses, as well as charities and not-for-profits. Going forward he will have a key role in the Westcotts Digital Change Group across the firm.

He said: “I place client care and collaboration at the heart of everything I do and being part of the Westcotts family as a Partner will enable me to continue to best support my clients and ensure that as a firm we help our clients to progress and meet their individual goals.”

Matt is married with three daughters and lives in Bickleigh. He’s a school governor, as well as a trustee of several organisations. Away from the office, Matt enjoys taking part in ultra-marathons and running competitively.

Shona Godefroy, Managing Partner at Westcotts said: “We are delighted Matt’s hard work and expertise has been recognised. He has a wealth of experience in advising owner managed businesses and has already played a key role in supporting our clients in Mid-Devon.

“Going forward he will be leading our digital change team, helping our clients transition to digital accounting systems which is very much part of our advisory growth strategy.”
