FOR many people the idea of working from home seems idyllic but accountants Ray Khan and Alan Brent have gone one better.

They can now says they are "doing business in the garden". After working together for ten years Brent Associates are celebrating with a move to larger premises in The Gardens Office Village at Broadcut, Fareham. Thanks to funding through Exeter-based Armada Finance the new offices operate a fully integrated IT system providing ten employees with networked stations connected to Broadband.

Ray said: "We prefer working in a modern open plan environment and we are very pleased with the 'green' location and set up of the new offices."

Alan launched the practice in 1991 specialising in the care sector. He continues to provide advice to a variety of businesses across the south coast.

Ray joined in 1994 and brought with him a wealth of commercial expertise that has helped the practice to work closer with its clients. Regional Armada manager Colin Moore said: "I'm sure the new garden location will be conducive to their nurturing approach!"
