Mitchell Charlesworth’s taxman retires

Date: 4 March 2008

NORTH West Chartered Accountants and business advisors Mitchell Charlesworth has bid a fond farewell to a tax manager who has retired after almost 50 years in the industry.

Trevor Evans, from Marchwiel, near Wrexham, has finally hung up his calculator at the firm’s Nicholas Street offices after 47 years dealing with tax issues.

The 65-year-old started his career at the Inland Revenue when he was 18, working in Wrexham, London and Manchester. He then joined Chester-based accountants Noel Humphries in November 1976, which was acquired by Mitchell Charlesworth Chartered Accountants and Business Advisors in 1994.

Trevor, who has been married to Maureen for 43 years and has two children and three grandchildren, has no immediate plans for his retirement. He said: “I’ve really enjoyed my time at Mitchell Charlesworth and over the years I have seen the firm substantially develop and grow. All the staff and clients have been great which has really made coming to work enjoyable.

“I haven’t decided what to do when I finally retire, except take the dog for more walks to the pub!”

More than 35 colleagues attended a party for Trevor where he was presented with a decanter, wine and book tokens as a gift for his retirement.

Richard Hoppins, a partner at Mitchell Charlesworth, added: “Trevor has been a great ambassador for Mitchell Charlesworth over the years and has played a part in the firm’s growth. I am sure everyone would like to wish him a long and happy retirement and the best of luck for the future.”
