We offer the option of a continental breakfast for those of you who prefer a lighter option, as well as the usual Full English breakfast.
We are delighted to launch our Business Breakfast event with a speaker whose family business has been embedded in the Somerset community for 70 years.
Meet our speaker: Cindi Barnstable, Managing Director, Owen Barry
In 1948 when Owen Barry started his leather, suede and sheepskin business, manufacturing was a cornerstone of British industry. In his hometown Street, Somerset, leather tanning was the main trade. Fast forward to the 1980’s, the company had a challenging time battling against the cheap imports that started to flood the market, it was hugely important to make strategic changes and evolve to maintain their market share. Along with other family members, Cindi stepped up, and now the company is thriving with 60% of their business being exported.
Cindi will be discussing how the business had to make changes to successfully survive within the evolving fast moving fashion and retail markets.
Client testimonialDealing with day to day business is hard enough, but a HMRC investigation too? We simply don’t have the time, energy and expertise to handle that. I believe my accountant is certainly the best person to manage a tax investigation and it’s reassuring to know the costs will be covered.
