Auckland and Brighton up next as we strengthen our MGI Worldwide connection

Our involvement in MGI Worldwide will take members of the Alexander Knight & Co team to two very different destinations during the coming months – Auckland and Brighton.

As a member of the international accounting network, we regularly attend MGI events to exchange ideas, build relationships with fellow firms and keep up to date with developments affecting businesses around the world.

First up is the MGI Worldwide Global AGM in Auckland, New Zealand, taking place from 21–24 October 2026.

The event will bring together professionals from across MGI’s international network under the theme of Growth, Leadership and Change.

Sessions will explore some of the challenges and opportunities facing accountancy firms and their clients, while providing an opportunity to develop relationships with advisers operating in different international markets.

Then, closer to home, the MGI UK & Ireland Partners, Directors & Managers Conference will take place at The Grand in Brighton from 25–27 November.

The theme for this year’s conference is Trust – an especially relevant subject for the accountancy profession and the businesses we support.

These events build on a busy year of international activity for Alexander Knight & Co.

Earlier in 2026, members of our team took part in MGI events covering areas including leadership, audit, tax, client communication and the future of the profession.

Our membership of MGI Worldwide gives Alexander Knight & Co access to trusted professional contacts in almost 100 countries.

That means when one of our clients is expanding overseas, or an international business needs support establishing itself in the UK, we can connect them with people we know within the network.

Murray Patt, founder of Alexander Knight & Co, said:

“Being part of MGI Worldwide gives an independent practice like ours genuine international reach.

“The conferences are valuable because they allow us to build relationships personally rather than simply looking up an accountant in another country when we need one.

“We also bring plenty of ideas and insight back to Hale. The profession and the needs of our clients are changing quickly, so maintaining those international connections is extremely valuable.”

We look forward to sharing more from Auckland and Brighton later this year.
