Bentley Jennison's quick thinking pays off

What was it about Bentley Jennison that attracted RSM?

After all, the network is a good deal bigger (seventh globally) than Bentley Jennison (14th in the UK).

One thing that may have been attractive was the speed with which they seized the opportunity.

Tony Stockdale, the managing partner at BJ, sent an email to RSMI head Jean Stephens the day he found out about Robson Rhodes pulling out of its deal with RSM McGladrey and merging with Grant Thornton, asking if he could come and meet her.

Not only that, but he sent the e-mail from his laptop at Heathrow airport at 2pm on that Sunday. We knew the firm was a quick mover, but even so.

Asked why RSM went for Bentley Jennison, Tony was brief and to the point on an Accountancy Age TV special: 'Because we were the best.'
