West Midlands accountancy practice Prime Accountants Group has announced Morgan Davies as its new managing director, succeeding the long-serving Kevin Johns. Davies formally took over the role on 1 September as part of the firm’s advanced succession planning, which has been taking place behind the scenes for some time.
Johns has been the managing director of Prime since 2015 and has been with the firm for 31 years. He will continue to work with his portfolio of clients and remain on the senior leadership team as Davies takes on his new role as managing director.

Johns, who was awarded a British Empire Medal in 2019 for services to Solihull, stated that he has been planning to gradually retire over the next few years and that handing over to Davies now provides a controlled and better transition.
Davies, who has been with the firm for 20 years and in practice for 30 years, expressed that the promotion is part of a succession plan they have worked hard on. He emphasized the company culture of developing and empowering people to succeed and grow within the organization.
