Who are we?

We are a twenty strong team under the leadership of three partners.

The firm, which was established in 1934, is authorised and regulated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).

In meeting the objectives of our clients, a close and direct personal relationship with the responsible partner is essential. In this the partners are supported by our highly trained and typically long serving members of staff.
