We’re proud winners at Tolley’s Tax Awards

Bishop Fleming has been named Best Tax Practice in a Regional Firm at the highly regarded Tolley’s Tax Awards 2025. This award recognises the firm’s outstanding technical expertise, client service, and innovative approach to tax advisory.

The award recognises Bishop Fleming’s success in delivering market-leading tax services, technical expertise, and innovative solutions to businesses and individuals across the UK. It follows a year of sustained double-digit growth, significant client wins, and continued investment in talent, technology, and client experience.

Chris Walklett, Partner and Head of Corporate Tax, added:

“Winning this award is a fantastic recognition of the expertise, dedication, and client-first approach that defines our tax team. We’re proud to deliver technically robust, innovative, and tailored advice to clients across the region and beyond, helping them navigate complex tax landscapes while driving sustainable growth.

This success also reflects our ongoing investment in our people and the business. Over the past year, we’ve strengthened our team with senior hires from Big Four and top 10 firms and enhanced our client experience through technology and process innovation, ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional value in an increasingly complex environment.”

Bishop Fleming has seen double-digit growth over the last eight years and is on track to exceed fees of £50m in 2025. The firm continues to invest in its future, having appointed five new Partners in the last 12 months. It plans to promote or recruit at least six more in the next few months to strengthen its leadership and support its growing client base. As part of its commitment to developing future talent, it will also welcome 70 new apprentices in 2025 through its Ofsted Outstanding-accredited Apprentice programme.

Iona Martin, Partner and Head of Personal Tax, added:

“Since joining Bishop Fleming, I’ve seen firsthand how our tax team goes beyond delivering technical excellence - we build trusted relationships, work seamlessly across teams, and put our clients first every step of the way.

Our investment in people, technology, and leadership creates an environment where talented professionals thrive and innovate. This award is a testament to the values we live every day, and to the collective commitment of our people to delivering outstanding outcomes for our clients.”

Bishop Fleming continues to invest in its Better Growth strategy, which includes expanding its presence in the West Midlands with a new office in Birmingham. The Birmingham office forms a key part of the firm’s long-term growth plans, creating opportunities for professionals who want to be part of building a dynamic, entrepreneurial tax practice in the region.

Andrew Sandiford, Managing Partner at Bishop Fleming, commented:

“This award is a powerful endorsement of the exceptional talent, commitment, and collaborative spirit that define Bishop Fleming. It reflects the values we stand for - building trusted relationships, delivering outstanding service, and investing in our people to help them thrive.

As we continue our growth journey, especially through our expansion in Birmingham, we’re creating exciting opportunities for ambitious professionals to be part of something special: an entrepreneurial, dynamic, award-winning firm that’s shaping the future of tax advisory in the UK.”

This latest accolade builds on a series of major wins for the firm, including being recertified as a Great Place to Work® and winning Large Firm of the Year, Employer of the Year, Client Service Award, and the ESG (Pride) Award at the Accounting Excellence Awards less than a year ago. These awards further cement Bishop Fleming’s reputation as a leader in the profession.
