We're very proud to announce the promotion of Jonathan Tetsell and Alex Bradley to the role of Associate!
Alex and Jonny have been identified for this position given their continuous enthusiasm for taking on responsibility, which has included delivering quality advice and work to clients, and developing and helping our staff. To date they have already done and achieved a lot for the firm and their new roles will identify various other aspects of the business that they can help drive forward.
In this post, we highlight their individual career journeys, reflecting on their past accomplishments at the firm while also anticipating a promising and exciting future.
Alex joined Wellers in 2018 as a Graduate Trainee and has advanced swiftly since then, garnering significant respect in Thame and across our offices.
His capability to provide exceptional advice and services to clients led to him receiving the Pinnacle Performer honour at our 2023 staff awards, underscoring his remarkable contributions to the firm.
Alex’s promotion is a testament to his commitment in various domains, particularly in Business Development, where he has forged numerous connections that have brought in many new clients. As a firm, we are eager to see the continued impact he will have as he undertakes new projects to advance our strategic direction and objectives.
Jonny began his journey with Wellers in 2014 as a Graduate Trainee at our Oxford office, before transitioning to London, where he again distinguished himself.
Throughout his tenure, Jonny has demonstrated an exceptional ability to cultivate robust client relationships. His commitment to exceeding client expectations has garnered him numerous staff accolades, including the prestigious Client Champion award in both 2023 and 2024. Jonny's advancement is a well-deserved recognition of his substantial contributions and adept management of diverse client requirements.
Similar to Alex, his ambition for the firm's success has led him to establish strong networks and relationships, resulting in referrals that have brought in a great deal of new clients over the years.
The position of Associate at our firm exists in 2 forms:
1. To help identify future partners
2. As a final career position

The Associate position also exists as a permanent role that Managers can step into as a means to greater involvement in the implementation of various projects and strategic initiatives.
Our career structure at the firm revolves around the fundamentals of our business, namely people and relationships. Whilst we set ourselves plenty of metrics by which to measure our work and achieve things, it's all done with an understanding that this is simply contributing to a bigger picture.
After all our ethos is all about helping people fulfil their potential. For our clients that's about guiding them in building and developing their organisations. For our staff it's about direction and upskilling in a variety of different ways from highly technical accounting and tax advisory matters, to soft skills such as staff training and business development.
Critical to all of this however, is bringing through the next generation of leaders. This approach is how our firm has endured over 80 years through varying trading conditions. It means nurturing and developing the next generation to live our mission and values and help take Wellers to the next level.
In turn, this should ensure a pipeline of highly talented people coming through that can successfully help guarantee our culture while continuing to provide the high level of service delivery our clients expect and require.
