Haworths Chartered Accountants is celebrating the success of client Ben Lloyd Fitness, following a period of significant growth for the personal training business which has seen client numbers increase by 200% in the last year.
Headquartered in Accrington, Haworths assisted Ben Lloyd Fitness during the start-up process four years ago, and has supported its founder, Ben Lloyd, throughout his early years of business growth.
The son of former cricketer David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd, Ben is a world champion bodybuilder, and set up his Accrington-based business to help people reach their full potential.
He offers support to those who are looking to lose fat, build muscle or improve their general fitness. Services include online coaching, weight training, cardio, diet plans and one-to-one personal training.
Ben said: “Following a recommendation from my dad, I’ve been with Haworths since the very beginning, and they’ve been great. It gave me peace of mind to have an expert on hand – I didn’t have to worry about the start-up process at all, so I was able to concentrate on the business side of things.”
Jeff Allsebrook, chartered accountant at Haworths adds: “Following recent growth, we’ve worked closely with Ben, focusing on the longer term and developing a strategy to ensure his continued success.”
As specialists in tax-planning and corporate finance, Haworths’ client-centred approach provides additional value to clients. It’s this personal approach which has ensured customer loyalty for the firm, with Haworths having represented Ben’s father David since he joined Lancashire Country Cricket Club more than 50 years ago.
Jeff continues: “It can be hard work running a business, especially if you’re the sole director and employee. We work alongside our clients, offering expert advice on how to grow and develop, helping to increase profitability.”
