JUSTIN RANDALL
Partner - Restaurant & Hospitality
Qualifying in 1990 as a Chartered Accountant, Justin advises a range of restaurants, bars and hotels with clients including Ottolenghi and Mildreds.
MARK TENZER
Partner - Restaurant & Hospitality
Mark qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1982 and specialises in advising bars and restaurants through the start-up and growth process including the White Rabbit Fund, the Coal Office and many others.
“I just wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you for all you and your team hard work on our accounts. Our previous accountant didn’t have our accounts in good shapes and I didn’t know where we were for the accounts and numbers. Since we’ve moved over to Jeffreys Henry in August 2017, significant progress has been made. I now know where we are with accounts and it has enabled me to make some difficult yet necessary decisions on the business such as disposing sites that are not making enough profits and focusing time and effort on projects that do bring in profits.”
