Moore UK announces new CEO and Chair
Mark Lance has been appointed the new CEO of Moore UK, alongside the firm’s new chair, Matt Meadows.
Lance is arguably a veteran of the firm – which ranked 11th in Accountancy Age’s 50+50 for 2023. He worked for the original member firm back in the 1990’s and has since gone on to expand the brand in the UK. His focus has been to enhance the member firm experience and growing the network across the north, northwest, East Anglia and the southwest.
“It’s a pleasure to take the reins as CEO. I look forward to building our existing presence, welcoming great UK firms to our professional community which promises autonomy, a collaborative culture that develops people and builds business, and access to the respected Moore brand renowned for quality, integrity and exceptional client care,” said Lance in a statement today (July 11).
Lance graduated from UCL in 1990 with a degree in economics before going on to work for Moore Stephens in their corporate recovery team. In 1992, he went to work for BDO where he stayed for six years remaining focused on corporate recovery.
Moore UK comprises of ten member firms, with 38 offices and over 2,000 people.
