The firm on Wellington Road staged a special lunch to bid a fond farewell to practice director Jeff Atkinson after 24 years of service and to congratulate account manager John Morris on his 50 years with the firm.

Jeff, who aims to spend more time travelling with his wife in their motorhome, said: "I will always be very grateful to the directors of Afford Bond for their support and camaraderie over the years.

"I have had the opportunity to take on a number of roles, including several years working directly with clients, heading up our payroll bureau and also running the Wilmslow office.

"In 2012, I returned to my previous role of running the internal workings of the firm, as practice director - a role I have thoroughly enjoyed.
