An award-winning accountancy firm has opened an office in Torbay to help local businesses and attract more talent.
They made the move back in June, showing their commitment to the area.
Top 30 professional services firm, which delivers accounting, tax and audit services opened its office on Nicholson Road to accommodate its growth exactly 100 years on from opening its first ever office in Torquay.
Bishop Fleming’s heritage is deeply rooted in the Torbay business scene having started in 1919 when Frank Bishop joined in partnership with the man who gives the business the second part of its name – Mr Fleming.
The firm has now grown into one of the UK’s leading Top 30 accountancy firms, employs 370 people and has six other offices in the South West and Midlands. It celebrated record levels of recruitment in 2019, after the successful launch of its Launchpad school leaver apprentice programme.
Bishop Fleming sees the English Riviera as a great place to do business, with their move to Century House bolstering their commitment to the region.
Tim Godfrey, Bishop Fleming Partner said: “Our new Torbay office underlines our commitment to the region and the business community. As we look forward this new office provides us with a superb modern, agile workspace helping us to attract not only the right clients but also the right people, giving them the right space to work.
“We are passionate about making local businesses a success, as this helps to attract more talent to the Torbay community. We want to work with and celebrate the outstanding quality of businesses in South Devon.”
Celebrating its centenary year throughout 2019, the firm not only used the milestone to mark its growth but also raised £150,000 for 70 charities across the UK.
The firm now aims to be recognised in its local communities as the most rewarding accountancy firm in the UK for its clients, people and communities. With its people and expertise, the firm can offer innovative solutions to support the success of business in South Devon, Torbay, and beyond.
Bishop Fleming has just been listed in the Sunday Times Top 100 Best Companies to work for list for the fifth consecutive year. It was also crowned ‘Business of the Year’ at the British Chamber Award in November.
