New post makes global link stronger

HOWARD Lewis, partner at city office, has been elected chairman of the regional group of CPA Associates, the professional networking organisation that gives members international access to experts and colleagues around the world.

CPA makes cross-border co-operation easier, and client companies using members' services can be assured of the same high standards should they require overseas assistance or advice.

Howard succeeds Wil Steenhof from the Netherlands, and takes on the role at a time when CPA is growing, following the regionalisation that has taken place in recent years.

He also represents the region, which covers Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), on the international board of CPA, giving MacIntyre Hudson a voice at the highest level when it comes to discussing changing legislation, setting standards and forging closer links with member countries.
