LehmanBrown International Accountants Opens London Office

BEIJING, CHINA -- LehmanBrown International Accountants has opened their first European branch office in London.  The office, which has been conducting business for the past 3 weeks, underscores both the regions increasing interest in establishing operations in and around China as well as the increasing desire of domestic Chinese enterprises in exploring market opportunities abroad.

The new London office is currently responsible for providing specialized services catering to UK-based businesses with international or potential international operations.  LehmanBrown Managing Partner Russell Brown explained, "Our London presence gives us a great opportunity to further project our UK and European market expertise closer to home and should be an valuable asset to us and our clients moving forward.

Harby Janagol, the London director, remarked, "LehmanBrown has demonstrated tremendous and continued growth thus far in China and the opportunities there need are in need of more sound articulation in the West.  I look forward to running our UK operation and continuing LehmanBrown's tradition of success."  Mr. Janagol, according to Mr. Brown, "brings years of rich management, accounting and business experience to us; he is a fellow FCMA and we are very excited to have him join us."
