A Black Country family-owned accountancy firm is celebrating its 35th birthday with a move to new offices.
Bytheway & Co, which was set up in a small home garage by current director Reg Bytheway, has invested to transform a derelict building in Sedgley into its new home.
A string of new contract wins with local businesses has paved the way for the expansion, with its Bilston Street premises now boasting additional meeting rooms, the latest technology and dedicated parking.
Backed by a £19,500 grant from the Green Shoots Fund, the company has already taken on two new employees and expects turnover to grow by 10 per cent this year.
“We’ve come a long way from when I first started in 1979 and I’m delighted that we have grown the business by keeping it in the Black Country and in the family,” said Mr Bytheway, who is joined at the helm by his two sons David and Dan.
“The new office provides us with a modern image that reflects our new branding, not to mention giving us more space to grow and take on additional clients. We’re also about to launch a new website as part of the marketing push.”
He added: “There is no doubt the Green Shoots Fund has brought forward our plans by twelve months and hopefully we are starting to pay some of that back by employing more people and bringing an important building back to life.”
Bytheway & Co offers a range of accountancy and business advisory services to starts-ups, sole-traders, partnerships and limited companies across the West Midlands and the UK.
