History of Brookes Accounting
We are a licensed accountancy and chartered tax advisory service based in Grays, Essex.
Our company was formed in 2002 by Paul Headley. After establishing the fact he wanted to branch out on his own after many years of auditing major companies across the UK, he had to work out what to call this new found company!
This was far more challenging than any tax problems he may have come across! Of course, these were the days of the good old Yellow Pages. The dilemma of having a company that was near the front of the ‘Accountants’ section in the Yellow Pages but (and I quote!) “..not in the ‘A’s’ because that’s too obvious”.
The answer came to him whilst staring across the road through our front office window. The name Brooke Road jumped out at him. The required early mention in the relevant section of the Yellow Pages and a connection to location (albeit loosely!)…both boxes ticked!
