We're celebrating quadruple awards success

Bishop Fleming has been crowned winner of four major awards at the prestigious Accounting Excellence Awards 2024 in London!
 

Leading the honours was the flagship award for Large Firm of The Year, with the firm being able to demonstrate its strength and quality of its firm and client vision and the defining qualities that help it stand out in a highly competitive market.

Andrew Sandiford, Managing Partner, said:

“To be awarded not just one, but all four awards that we were shortlisted for, is an amazing result for Bishop Fleming and everyone who works here.

It is our firm’s ambition to be 'the most rewarding firm in the UK for our clients, our people and our communities', and to have all three of these areas recognised makes me incredibly proud. And to be crowned Large Firm of the Year too simply tops it all off.”

Three of the category awards were particularly notable, recognising the firm’s achievements in these areas.
 

The Large Employer of the Year Award follows a stream of recent successes which has seen the firm being recertified as a Great Place To Work®, having its record-breaking apprentice programme listed among the very best in the UK’s Top 100 Apprentice Employer rankings, and then officially rated Outstanding by Ofsted.

Anna Averis, Partner and Chief People Officer, commented:

“We are absolutely thrilled to win the Large Employer of The Year award. It caps off an amazing year of achievements and truly reflects the hard work we have delivered to attract and retain the very best people.”

The award for Pride – ESG reflected Bishop Fleming’s demonstration of a successful internal ESG strategy.

Ewan McClymont, Head of Responsible Business, added:

“We have prided ourselves in operating responsibly for many years, but we have really accelerated our strategy to deliver a healthy business, healthy communities and a healthy environment over the last three years. This award is fantastic recognition of our commitment to be a responsible business.

This year we have innovated with the launch of our One Per Cent for Communities pledge – an ambition to record activities, volunteering and fundraising valued to one per cent of our annual turnover, and later this month we will deliver our third annual impact review, charting our ESG journey.”

The award for Client Service was based on Bishop Fleming’s demonstration of its strategies that enable its team to deliver exemplary client service and build its service vision into the fabric of its firm.

Paul Seymour, Chief Marketing Officer, said;

“As a client-based business, it goes without saying that we are committed to delivering exceptional service. But it is our innovative work in this area, including our Engage client listening programme, combined with our guiding values such as ‘We think client’ and ‘We put relationships at the heart’, which has really enabled us to drive continuous improvement, deliver above sector average NPS scores and ultimately better growth for our business.”

The awards match Bishop Fleming’s continued growth and echoes the firm’s success, having recorded another financial year of double-digit growth and revenue to over £43.1m.
