Chartered accountants Hunt and Partners has joined with a national accountancy group to bring more jobs to Sussex.

The Chichester-based practice has joined Haines Watts, which has 38 offices nationwide and links with practices in 61 countries, and expects to take on more specialist staff.

Charles Hunt, who founded the practice 20 years ago, said: "A three-partner firm couldn't provide the full range of business support. The only way to do it is to get bigger and we decided Haines Watts were the ones."
