Accountancy firm hosts major networking event for hundreds of professionals

For over 40 years, Brearley & Co accountants have empowered businesses across the region to promote growth in various sectors through their services.

Last week, the accountancy firm invited hundreds of staff, clients, and partners to The Courtyard in Wickersley to rub shoulders over a BBQ. The networking event attracted a roster of industry leaders and key decision-makers, making it an opportunity for influential connections and conversations.

The event celebrated the strong growth of start-ups, SMEs, and larger businesses in the area, commending the expertise of the firm’s expansion across the region. High-profile guests in attendance included Alexander Calder and representatives of NatWest and Lloyds bank, Handelsbanken, Prestige Finance and Bhayani Law. All stakeholders from Brearley & Co were present too.

Founded in 1984 by Giles Brearley, the firm has grown significantly and now specialises in services including tax, self-assessment tax returns, financial advice, payroll, debt recovery, annual accounts and VAT services, among others.

The team shared plans on how they are set to bring further opportunities for clients and employees in Yorkshire, with office acquisitions bringing potential for recruitment.

Mark Smallman, Managing Director said: “Hosting this networking event, along with many others throughout the year, is always a highlight for us. Each year, the event grows bigger and better, with a wonderful mix of familiar faces and new connections.

“These gatherings are invaluable for businesses, fostering relationships and creating opportunities that drive our local economy forward. We are delighted to be part of such a vibrant community and look forward to many more successful events.”

Their commitment to giving back to the community extends beyond their workforce. The accountancy firm frequently supports for local charities including Rotherham Hospice, Rotherham Rise and Bluebell Wood, as well as sponsoring Dinnington Town FC.
