Additional promotions elsewhere across the firm include James Boustead, who is now a Director in the Tax Team, and Vicky Manning to the role of Manager in the Business Services Team.
Fond Farewells
New generation of leadership at MGI UK & Ireland member firm Rickard LuckinRickard Luckin bid a sentimental farewell to Directors Alan Worsdale and Bill Gould, who both retired in September.
Having joined the firm on the same day 45 years ago, Alan and Bill dedicated themselves to shaping Rickard Luckin into the prominent firm it is today, becoming leading figures in the Southend business community.
Also retiring after 45 influential years is Ian Plunkett, Director and Business Advisor, and the first new employee of the then-merged Bird Luckin and Sheldrake. His trusted influence and involvement in our firm’s development has been substantial.
Last but not least, Peter Warren, one of Rickard Luckin’s longest-serving Tax Directors has also retired. Peter joined the firm (then Bird Luckin) in 1989, and his legacy is the exceptionally strong tax team that he was instrumental in developing.
MGI Worldwide with CPAAI joins Rickard Luckin in wishing Alan, Bill, Ian, and Peter a happy and healthy retirement, whilst extending sincere thanks for all they have contributed. We wish warm congratulations to those who have achieved promotion, and look forward to strengthening our links amongst the MGI community which will continue to be led by Kevin Thomas.
