John Brace

After qualifying John spent the early part of his career in senior finance posts with two national construction groups. This led to John starting his own construction business in 1973, which he sold by way of a management buy out in 1980. When John joined Harwood Hutton in 1981 it was a three-partner practice and he has played an influential part in the growth of the firm. He is particularly proud of the part he played in enabling Harwood Hutton to become one of the first accountancy firms in the UK to achieve ISO 9001 status.

In addition to his considerable accountancy experience, he has worked as an expert witness mainly in professional negligence, matrimonial and business disputes. John was President of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants from 2004 to 2005. He contributes to the development of the accounting profession through membership of committees that represent the profession in the UK and Europe.
