In this first installment of our archive video series, our social archivist Ben Sharratt unveils two artefacts that have played a pivotal role in shaping our firm’s identity - the original signed partner deed, and a collection of our staff magazines across the decades.
In this second episode, Ben unveils two items that reflect the dynamic changes in our working environment - the traditional leather briefcase that represented the stereotypical image of an accountant, and one of the first laptop computers that put modern technology at our fingertips and heralded the firm’s digital transformation.
In this third episode, Ben explores a unique training approach from the 1960s, plus some essential ‘tools of the trade’ dating right back to our earliest years in business: True and Fair, a 1966 audit training film made by Cooper Brothers and starring our very own partners and staff; and our old ledgers and registers, revealing who we worked for and how we applied our accounting skills in the pre-computer age.
In 2024, our regional offices are an integral part of our firm - reflecting the strength and breadth of our expertise nationwide. Like many companies of our time, our journey began in London and in our final episode, Ben takes us on a journey through London to explore our former office locations. From our current headquarters at Embankment Place to our founding location on Gresham Street, discover how our firm’s footprint in the city has evolved, shaping our legacy along the way.
