Forvis Mazars appoints Ross Lambert as Office Managing Partner in Milton Keynes

Ross has built his entire career in Milton Keynes. He joined Forvis Mazars on its graduate scheme in 2010 and progressed to become a Partner in the Forvis Mazars’ Financial Planning team, which has been ranked first in the FT Adviser Top 100 list of financial advice firms for 2026. Since Ross joined the firm he has been advising clients across the region, becoming deeply embedded in the local business community and has developed long-standing relationships with clients, intermediaries and business leaders. 

Rebecca, a restructuring partner, has led the Milton Keynes office since 2022. During that time the office has continued to grow, appointing five new partners and more than a dozen directors across a range of services, including audit, tax, accounts, financial planning, outsourcing and employment services. The office continues to invest in the local community, welcoming 18 graduates and apprentices in 2026.

Under Rebecca’s leadership, the team has also built a stronger network of local intermediaries and a more visible presence in the community, including its support for Pride and inclusion initiatives in Milton Keynes, sponsoring the “Celebrating Diversity” award at the Milton Keynes Business Achievement Awards and MK Pride Festival.

Rebecca Dacre, outgoing Office Managing Partner at Forvis Mazars in Milton Keynes, said: "Leading our Milton Keynes team has been a highlight of my career so far. I'm proud of how we have built a more collaborative and inclusive culture and stronger links with the local business community, and I’ve particularly enjoyed nurturing our talented team and seeing them progress in their careers with Forvis Mazars.

"Ross has built his career in Milton Keynes and knows our clients and people exceptionally well. He inherits a skilled team, and I am confident he will build on these strong foundations as the office begins its next chapter. Meanwhile, I am excited to now focus on further growing our Restructuring and Insolvency practice across the South East."

In Milton Keynes, Forvis Mazars works with clients across a full range of service lines with particular strength in the mid-market practice incorporating audit, tax, accounts and outsourcing alongside private client services including wealth management.  

Looking ahead, Ross will continue to be a vocal advocate for Milton Keynes as a centre of business, and Forvis Mazars’ place within it. He will also continue to develop talent at every level of the team and focus on ensuring that all parts of the business are not just visible but present in the local market.

Ross Lambert, Office Managing Partner at Forvis Mazars in Milton Keynes, said: "I joined Forvis Mazars as a graduate here in Milton Keynes and have built my career with this team, so it is a privilege to now lead it. Becky leaves us in a strong position, with talented people and a culture built on collaboration. I believe we are in a great place to really establish ourselves within the market by holding a key focus on Milton Keynes and the local area.

"My priority therefore is making sure businesses in Milton Keynes and the surrounding area know who we are and that we are here to support them across all of our services. That means being visible locally, keeping client service at the heart of everything we do and being a firm where clients and our team want to work together and develop longstanding relationships".
