WORCESTER TO HOST UK’S CONFERENCE FOR INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTANTS

Bishop Fleming Rabjohns arranges a three-day event for 70 top-firm delegates

The first few days of February (2nd to 4th) will see more than 70 top UK accountants meeting in Worcester, and exploring the city‘s attributes.

Bishop Fleming Rabjohns, the recent merger of Bishop Fleming with Worcester‘s Rabjohns, will host the 2012 conference of UK members of Kreston International – the global network of independent accountancy firms.

More than 70 partners of Kreston-member firms will meet in Worcester for a packed programme of business-focused discussions.

But Bishop Fleming Rabjohns has ensured that the programme will also include expose those visitors to many of Worcester‘s attributes.

The three-day event programme includes:
• A visit to Morgan Cars (a Bishop Fleming Rabjohns client);
• Dinner at Worcestershire County Cricket Clun (also a Bishop Fleming Rabjohns client);
• Conference and lunch at The Warriors stadium (another Bishop Fleming Rabjohns client);
• A dinner in the Chapter House of Worcester Cathedral (Bishop Fleming Rabjohns is working to boost the Cathedral‘s potential to engage corporate sponsors for events to boost the cathedral‘s funding);
• And seats at the rugby match between the Worcester Warriors and the Ospreys.

Membership of the global Kreston network was central to the recent merger of Bishop Fleming and Rabjohns.

UK Chairman of Kreston is Matthew Lee, the Managing Partner of Bishop Fleming.

“Two years ago, Bishop Fleming hosted the annual UK Kreston conference in Bristol:  since then, our Kreston relationship with Rabjohns in Worcester was a major driver towards our decision to bring that firm into the growing Bishop Fleming network, that now includes offices in Bristol, Bath, Cardiff, Exeter, Plymouth, Torquay, and Truro.
