At Alexander Knight & Co, we are proud to be the official sponsor of Hale Railway Station, helping to support and care for this important local transport hub used by thousands of residents, commuters and visitors each year.
As part of our ongoing sponsorship, we are now developing plans to organise a volunteer team from within our firm to help further enhance the station environment. Working in partnership with the dedicated volunteers from the Friends of Hale Station, colleagues from Alexander Knight & Co will take part in activities such as painting, cleaning and general upkeep around the station.
While these volunteer plans are currently being organised, our team already takes pride in keeping an eye on the station and helping ensure it remains clean, tidy and welcoming for local passengers who rely on this key gateway to the Hale community.
Alison Spier, Head of HR and Training at Alexander Knight & Co, said:
“We’re very proud to be the official sponsor of Hale Station and to support such an important part of our local community. Many of our team and clients use the station regularly, so it always feels natural for us to play a role in helping keep it looking its best.
“We are pleased to have a volunteer initiative where colleagues from our practice spend time at the station helping with painting, cleaning and general care, working alongside the fantastic volunteers from the Friends of Hale Station.”
We will share further updates once the volunteer days and work have been confirmed.
In the meantime, Alexander Knight & Co will continue supporting Hale Station and working with local partners to ensure it remains a welcoming and well-maintained space for the community it serves as part of our ongoing ESG work.

Since lockdown began, we’ve noticed a significant upturn in the number of business owners who live just a ‘stone’s throw’ from our office in Hale expressing how much they love having their accountants based near where they live.
A large number of business owners (and their advisers) choose to live in Hale, Hale Barns, Bowdon or Altrincham – even if they run successful businesses in other parts of Greater Manchester.
Many business owners have already confirmed that that they have no intention of their staff returning to work as normal in their city centre office – and neither do they.
In fact, like us, they swiftly adapted to the new normal and have been able to continue their business operations with the vast majority of staff working at home thanks to technology and an entrepreneurial attitude.
Why choose accountants in Hale?
Being located in Hale means we are perfectly placed to deliver our professional services to business owners who, in no uncertain terms, want to avoid Manchester city centre!
That’s why we’re seeing so many business owners switch their accountants from city-centre based firms to ours in Hale.
By appointing us as your accountants you’ll avoid all the headaches that come with trips to the city centre including: the commute into town, parking problems and the sheer waste of time and unproductiveness of meeting accountants in the city centre.
We have:
-
Grade A offices in the heart of Hale on Hale Road. ✅
-
Plenty of free parking ✅
-
A client base of successful entrepreneurs who live locally just like you ✅
-
Talented and experienced staff ✅
-
More competitive rates than ‘rival’ city centre-based practices ✅
-
An entrepreneurial attitude to help your business thrive in 2020 and beyond ✅
Of course, we’re always ready to meet via Zoom – but we firmly believe that most people in business still prefer a face-to-face meeting – and there’s nowhere handier for locally-living entrepreneurs than our office in Hale.
Why don’t you speak to us about becoming your new accountants in the new post-Covid era?

We’re pleased to confirm that we’ve now officially moved to prestigious new office space in the heart of Hale, Cheshire.
Our practice, launched by Murray Patt in 2012, had outgrown its old premises near Manchester Airport and our new location will be a springboard for even further growth.
As well as launching the office, at Westgate House on Hale Road, we are also unveiling our new sponsorship of Hale Railway Station as well as revealing a clutch of new client wins.
Alexander Knight & Co provides tax, audit and management accountancy services for a range of businesses across the region. Our growing client base also includes international companies seeking specialist advice on doing business in the UK. New clients include Gresham Wealth Management and Thomas Storey Fabrications Group.
Murray Patt, founder of Alexander Knight & Co, said:
We are excited to reveal our new office space in Hale village. Our old office, near Manchester Airport, served us well since we launched the practice back in 2012. Since then, we have grown our client base, staff numbers and our services.
We’ve also developed as a business and we see our new home as a physical embodiment of where we are now and where we are heading as a practice.
Our new, professional surroundings are perfectly in tune with our culture and better suited to our clients and staff. Not only is the location convenient and easy to access it’s also a stone’s throw from amenities in Hale village and Altrincham town centre for our staff.
We’ve had a very successful year and we are looking forward to maintaining our growth during 2018 as we seek to expand our team and client base of entrepreneurs across the region.
