Pictured above: Helen Richardson with Nicholsons partner Richard Hallsworth

A familiar face has returned to Lincolnshire chartered accountants Nicholsons after Helen Richardson rejoined the firm after two years away.

Helen worked for Nicholsons as a general accountant from 2001 to 2008 before leaving to start a family.

Now that her son Seth, aged two, is at nursery school, she decided that the time was right to return to work part-time and was delighted to find that there was a similar role going in partner Richard Hallsworth's team.

She said: "I enjoyed my time at Nicholsons and left on good terms, and they always said that I would be welcome to come back in the future if the opportunity arose.

"As it was, there was a role available at the time I was looking to return to work, so everything has fallen into place. It's really nice to be back here, working alongside so many of my old colleagues, and I've been made to feel very welcome."

Mr Hallsworth added: "I'm delighted to welcome Helen back to Nicholsons - she was a valued member of our team before and we knew she would fit back in very well.

"Our family-friendly working policies mean that Helen has been able to return part-time, allowing her to resume work while still having time to spend at home with her young family."
