Dawn, an ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) qualified accountant with over 35 years of experience in practice.

She has developed a career specializing in managing the affairs of owner-managed businesses and will now work from Lamont Pridmore’s offices in South Cumbria in Kendal, Barrow and Carnforth.

She brings expertise in all aspects of accounting, personal and corporate tax work to the Lamont Pridmore team.

The company offers a wide range of business support services to organizations and individuals throughout the North of England and the South of Scotland, including a specialist service for McDonald’s franchisees.

Speaking about her new role, Dawn said: “My many years of experience in practice means that I am well equipped to understand the challenges our clients face in running their businesses.

“I love getting to know them and better understanding some of the industries that are so important to this field, including engineering, retail, wholesale and hospitality, and tourism.

“I focus on providing my clients with holistic and proactive advice to help them manage their business and personal financial affairs.

“It’s fantastic to work in a family business that allows me to offer a much more personalized service than that offered in a more corporate environment.”

Dawn was born in Lancashire but has spent much of her professional career in the south of England.

She said she was delighted to have moved back up north and now calls Hutton Roof home, and that access to the Lake District hills was one of the main reasons for moving to the area as she is an avid walker and a member of the Long Distance Walkers Association.

Karl Burrell, Managing Director of Lamont Pridmore South Cumbria, said: “I am delighted Dawn has joined our team.

“His knowledge and experience is a great addition to our existing team and will allow everyone to spend more time with our clients, continuing to deliver top-notch customer service and quality forward-thinking advice.”
