South West accountancy firm Milsted Langdon has marked its 35th anniversary with a party for staff from across its five offices.
The independent firm was founded in 1988 by University of Bath graduates Simon Milsted and Jonathan Langdon.
Since then it has specialised in trusted accountancy advice for businesses and individuals.
Today it has 20 partners and 250 employees across its offices in Bristol, Bath, Taunton, Yeovil and London who offer a wide range of business services from routine compliance matters to specialist tax advice and planning, corporate finance, business intelligence, insolvency, forensic accounting and mediation services.
It is also part of a top-20 international accounting network, MGI Worldwide.To mark its anniversary, Milsted Langdon brought together 140 staff for a party held at the picturesque Quantock Lakes, near Bridgwater.
The event was not only a chance to celebrate the milestone, but a great opportunity for staff to catch up with colleagues from other offices.
Chairman Simon Rowe, who was appointed to the role last month, said: “It’s not often we can bring together our staff from all five offices, especially those who are based in London, so what better occasion than to celebrate the milestone of our 35th year?
“A fantastic time was had by all, and it was a perfect event to celebrate the firm’s achievements so far, as well as welcoming in what feels like a new chapter in ML’s journey to help our clients and our people to thrive.
“As a firm, we are proud that Milsted Langdon has been proving high-calibre accountancy, tax and business advice for 35 years now, and long may it continue.”
Simon, who joined the firm in 2008, took over from Tim Close, who had held the position since 2019 and is now focusing on his role as partner and compliance principal for the firm
Tim was one of Milsted Langdon’s first employees, having arrived in 1989, a year after its launch.
