In 2000, myself and Jason created Davenports, using my experience as a Tax Director to grow our brand. We’ve grown a strong team, teaching apprentice accountants and imparting my knowledge of Cloud Accounting, Tax Preparation, Business Planning, FRS, and Accounting. Since graduating from Oxford Brookes University in 1999, I’ve shown a strong accounting prowess that shows in the stature of our clients.
Scott and I created Davenports in 2000 in Oxford, and have grown our brand to include a strong team. We can safely call Bury our forever home now, and with that we have created many community driven initiatives. We have a slogan here at Davenports, ‘We’re serious about your business’. Although true, through my leadership you could take out ‘serious’ and easily substitute it with ‘care’, ‘passionate’ or ‘honest’, as that is who I am as a person. My core values can be found in every fibre of the Davenports business.
Having been with Davenports for quite some time now, I continue to enjoy the variety and challenges that come with my role in HR & Payroll. No two days are ever the same, and that’s what keeps my work both interesting and rewarding. Being customer-focused and proactive are key parts of my role, ensuring that our team and clients receive the best possible support. Teamwork is central to everything we do at Davenports, and it’s something I truly value as I continue to build on my knowledge and skills within the business.
Having been at Davenports' for a few years now I have come a long way from when I started. I've gained a plethora of skills & knowledge in business, accounting & finance which I demonstrate in my work, and I'm eager to continue learning more every day. The support of the people here at Davenports' has been nothing short of exceptional and has been pivotal to my success so far.
Since starting work at Davenports, I have thoroughly enjoyed coming into work daily and becoming part of the team. Everyday I am learning and developing new skills through dealing with a wide range of tasks. I look forward to further seeing how my work at Davenports progresses over time and feel that I am in the best environment for me to begin what will hopefully be a long and successful career in accountancy.
I joined Davenports in October 2024 as an Apprentice Accountant and have already come a long way in both my college studies and professional life. Every day I’m learning and developing new skills, from supporting clients with their accounts to working closely with the team on a variety of tasks. I particularly enjoy building relationships with clients and helping them feel confident in the work we do for their businesses. I’m looking forward to continuing my development here and growing my career in accountancy with Davenports.
Since joining Davenports, I have been made to feel very much part of the team and have continued to build my skills, knowledge and confidence within accountancy. The inclusive and supportive environment here is something I really value, and I believe it is one of Davenports’ greatest strengths in helping us work well with a wide variety of clients and client needs. I have a particular interest in how technology can improve efficiency, communication and client service, while still recognising the importance of human judgement, investigation and understanding the story behind the numbers. I enjoy asking the right questions, finding practical solutions and continuing to develop my role so that I can add value to both our clients and the Davenports team.
Since I joined Davenports on the 20 May 2026 I got the feeling of being welcomed in all senses. The friendly environment is making me a part of such a closely knit group. With each passing day, I am improving myself in terms of learning and gaining more experience about finance and business. I particularly enjoy building close relationships with clients and having the opportunity to network and meet so many different people. Although I am only at the beginning of my journey, I am excited to see what the future holds for me and really look forward to continuing to learn , grow and contribute alongside the team.
