Thompson Wright celebrates 40th anniversary

Thompson Wright, one of the top chartered accountancy firms in the Midlands and North West of England, is pleased to announce its 40th year in business. 

The practice was formed in 1983 by directors Lawrence Thompson and David Wright.

Speaking of his fond memories, David Wright said: “Back then we were in King Street, Newcastle and though it seems like yesterday, I can’t imagine now a world and an office without computers. In fact that’s one of my earliest memories as a partner, buying our first two IBM PCs complete with floppy disks that cost more than two PCs cost today!”

The firm’s King Street office was soon outgrown, leading to a relocation to Ebenezer House in the year 2000. 

Fast forward to today, and the practice boasts eight directors, has expanded to two other offices in Hale and Leek, and employs over 100 staff members with further growth anticipated.

Director David Wright added: “It has been great to see the development of the practice and how with increasing numbers of highly qualified and able staff we have been able to extend the range of services we offer.’

Managing director Richard Thompson said: “One of my biggest achievements has certainly been taking over from my father, becoming an accountant was a dream I had from a young age and continuing my father’s legacy is a great accomplishment of mine.  Of course, we would not be where we are today without the support of our amazing team and loyal clients, so a big thank you to them!’
