"After 20 years as a business, we are looking at ways to continue growing, and they will play a crucial role in supporting that process and maintaining our high standards across everything we do."

Hooper added that the firm was "thrilled" to see Jamie and Rena take on management positions after excelling in their previous roles.

"It’s an exciting time for the business and we are looking forward to continuing to grow together," she said.
