A global network of professional services, Russell Bedford International, announced the establishment of CORE Revision AG as its member company in Bern, Switzerland.
The history of the CORE Partner Group dates back to its establishment in 1974 Treuhand Cotting AG in Düdingen, near Friburg, on the border of German- and French-speaking regions of Switzerland. In 1997 an office was set up in Bern and in 2004 Fiduciaire Revicor AG joined the Cotting Group (founded in Freiburg in 1995).
In 2011 The group's holding company became Core Partner AG and the names of the operating entities were changed into 2017 on CORE Revision AG, CORE Treuhand AG, CORE Fiduciaire Revicor AG and CORE Medical AG.
Core Partner Group has eight partners and about 70 employees. From its offices in Bern, Freiburg and Düdingen CORE Partner serves private customers, SMEs, large corporations, public sector entities, non-profit organisations, associations and foundations, providing a wide range of audit, trust, tax advice, retirement and financial advice services. The partners of the firm are members of EXPERTsuisse (the Swiss Institute of Expert Auditors and Tax Experts) and Treuhand Suisse (the Swiss Trustees Association).
"It is great to see the further development of the network in the EMEA region, after we have acquired two new companies in Malta and Senegal in recent weeks," comments CEO Russell Bedford, Stephen Hamlet. "CORE Partner brings considerable knowledge and experience to a already strong region and I have no doubt that our members will welcome their contribution to the network, adding extended services in many sectors."
Michael Münger, a CORE Revision partner, added: “We are happy to join Russell Bedford. With a customer base that operates worldwide, it increases the ability to offer global services effectively, which is essential for the success of our company. We feel that we found a similar thinking culture in Russell Bedford when it comes to our common commitment to continuous development and we are happy to start this new journey by discovering new opportunities through the network.”
Klaus-Peter Hillebrand, Executive Director of Russell Bedford for EMEA, added: “I warmly welcome our new colleagues in Switzerland! I am very excited to start working with the team in Bern and other offices, which will help us provide comprehensive services to our joint customers.”
