In 2009 we welcomed two new offices to the group of Collins Barrow Ottawa offices. In the spring a new Queensview Drive location in Ottawa's west end and in December, our newest location, a Merivale Road office at Meadowlands Drive.
At Queensview, partner Rosa Maria Iuliano joined the former managing partner of that office, Rick Watson, to welcome all of the long standing and loyal clients of Watson & Burchill Chartered Accountants Professional Corporation to Collins Barrow Ottawa LLP. We were pleased to introduce Jennifer Burchill, Marion Conger, Carrie Neil, Ian Nute, David Rogan, Inessa Shevchenko, Teresa Smith and Rick Watson to all of our clients.
In December, we welcomed Katryna Coltess and Margo Eadie as we continued to expand with the addition of an existing practice on Merivale Road from the retiring partner, Keith Gallagher. We welcome as well all of the existing clients and look forward to our future relationships and to proving our quality service to each of them in the future.
Collins Barrow started as a two-partner CA firm in 1963 and has grown to a 12 partner, multi-disciplined professional service organization. Today, we are part of the Collins Barrow co-operative, a national association of independent Canadian firms with Collins Barrow as our global alliance.
With the experience and skills of our existing and new team members we continue to build our position to better service all clients in 2010 and on. We invite you to visit us at any of our Ottawa locations on Moodie Drive, Queensview Drive, Merivale Road or in Manotick.
