SOUTHAMPTON accountants Hunt Johnston Stokes have launched a new division to help clients obtain tailor-made finance for their businesses from a variety of sources.

Former business banking manager Anne Edwards joined the Carlton Place firm to head up its finance team. "There are many ways we can help clients find what they require," she said.

Anne is pictured with Danny Foss, from Southampton's trendy Orange Rooms bar - one of the first to benefit from advice on business plans.
