Rabjohns toast success
to Glasshouse brasserie

Rabjohns LLP has been appointed as advisors to one of Worcestershire’s leading restaurants.

Rabjohns beat off competition to secure the Glasshouse brasserie as a client. Although the firm is renowned for its portfolio of top Worcestershire names in the sports and leisure field including; Worcester Warriors, Worcestershire County Cricket Club and Malvern Theatres, it also acts for smaller businesses. Ally McLaughlin, Accounts and Tax Manager at Rabjohns has become the firm’s champion for the small business sector, developing propositions which will benefit such clients including a one-stop-shop for all accounting and tax needs.

Ally explained, 'Rabjohns has extensive experience in advising successful smaller businesses and our skills are invaluable to these clients. We are delighted to act for these companies and are pleased that we can support their business growth.'

Former Warriors player Steve Lloyd has recently been appointed as the new General Manager of the restaurant. Both Ally and Steve played for Worcester Warriors having first met at Sixways in 1999.

Steve Lloyd, said, 'The new management team were keen to bring in accountants that they could trust and who would be able to provide top quality but cost effective support and advice which is particularly important as our business grows. The day-to-day support which Ally provides is superb.'

We have some very exciting plans for the Glasshouse including the Lunch rapide, delivered within an hour, and will soon be launching a professional’s lunch each Friday.





Rabjohns passes new
Academy’s examination

One of the Government’s flagship Academy schools – the first in Worcestershire, has appointed Midlands-based accountancy and tax firm Rabjohns LLP as its auditor.

Rabjohns won the tender to act as auditors for the Tudor Grange Academy Worcester, which opened in September.

Worcester-based Rabjohns beat off competition from a range of other firms to secure the account, with work due to begin in October 2010.

Tudor Grange Academy replaced Worcester’s Elgar Technology College and was the second quickest academy school to be set up in the country, following sponsorship from Tudor Grange School in Solihull.

Andy Wood, Director at Rabjohns explained, “Rabjohns has extensive experience in advising and auditing independent schools and charities, though this is the first academy for which we have acted. We are excited to be working with Tudor Grange at such an important stage in its development, admiring the support given by its adopted sister school in Solihull and the positive steps already taken to make this new academy successful.”

Paul Day, financial director of Tudor Grange Worcester Academy Trust, said, “We are very pleased to be working with Rabjohns, and look forward to a long and successful association.”
