Cartmill Stewart & Co is a Winner

December 7, 2018

Claire Stewart, Partner of Lisburn-based Cartmill Stewart & Co Chartered Accountants was awarded ‘Small Business Winner’ for ‘Best Customer Service’ at the recent Women In Business 2018 Awards.

The Chairman of Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council’s Development Committee, Alderman William Leathem and local MLA Paul Givan recently visited Claire to congratulate her.

Speaking about the award Alderman Leathem said: “The hard work and effort that Claire and her business partner Gilbert Cartmill have put into the business since it was established in 2014 is being recognised with this award. Awards like this demonstrate to the team that they are doing a great job and it will encourage them to keep striving for more. Cartmill Stewart & Co Chartered Accountants is a great example of the SME sector here in Lisburn and the drive and ambition that exists.  Well done to Claire and the team on this latest win and I have no doubt there will be more to come.”

Claire commented: “2018 has been a very positive year for us as a business.  We were awarded highly commended in the Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council Business Awards for Customer service in March. In June I was named as one of the NI 40 under 40 winners by Business First and this award is the icing on the cake.  We continually strive as a team to make our client experience better and our clients regularly comment that we are partners within their business; much more than a regular accountant.  We provide much more to our clients than regular accounting and tax services; offering a forward-thinking approach we provide mentoring and strategy services to add growth and value. This award has been a real boost to the team who are our most valuable internal asset.  This is not the end; we have lots of plans for growth both as a business and for our clients in the coming months and years.  Thanks to the Council who has been very supportive right from the conception of our business in this council area.”
