Accountants in Barrow
We recently opened a fourth office in Barrow-in-Furness, complementing our existing Kendal, Keswick and Workington centres.
This latest development, part of our ongoing business expansion plan, means that Lamont Pridmore is able to provide a local service to virtually any business in Cumbria.
Barrow is of course, a town steeped in history having grown from a tiny 19th Century hamlet to the biggest iron and steel centre in the world, and a major ship-building force, in just 40 years.
In 1839 H.W. Schneider came to Barrow as a young speculator and dealer in iron. In 1850 he discovered large deposits of iron, and he erected blast furnaces at Barrow, which by 1876 formed the largest steelworks in the world.
James Ramsden, the first Mayor of Barrow conceived the idea of the Barrow Shipbuilding Company, which became Vickers in 1897. It is now the busiest shipyard in England, with the largest covered ship building hall in Europe.
Having only been in existence for 100 years, Lamont Pridmore is a relatively young company in comparison! However, Karl Burrell, Managing Director of the new offices, is sure that we will quickly become an integral part of this great town.
