New partnership announced

Housing consultancy Campbell Tickell (CT) has announced a link-up with chartered accountants and internal auditors Lustig & Co. Already well known in the housing sector, Roger Lustig has run the practice for the past six years. From 1 March 2009, the firm will become CT Assurance, when Roger will be joined as a Director by Greg Campbell and James Tickell.

The company provides internal audit and other support mainly to housing associations. The new firm will offer a range of services for existing and new clients, including audit, investigations, financial advice, risk management, and compliance checks. It will sit alongside CT's existing operations, with its Consulting, Recruitment, and Leadership divisions.

Roger is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, and a Member of the Academy of Experts. His past experience includes senior roles with Horwath Clark Whitehill and the Housing Corporation. His team includes Audit Manager Rebecca Starkey, Business Analyst Chirag Patel, and a number of associates.

Roger commented:

"This is an exciting step for us to take, but it is also a logical one. CT is a strong and respected brand in the housing sector and beyond. We see this as a first class opportunity to broaden our range of work for housing organisations."

Said James Tickell:

"We're delighted to welcome Lustig & Co to CT. I've known Roger for many years, and we worked together at the Housing Corporation. I have a very high regard for the professionalism, integrity and commitment of Roger and his team."
