Compass Accountants in Fareham took its team to Brighton to mark 40 years in business
Compass Accountants was set up in 1981 and its directors treated its team of 15 to thank them for their hard work and dedication, with a weekend stay at the Hotel Du Vin in Brighton.
After lunch at a restaurant on the beach, staff perused Brighton’s Lanes before meeting for cocktails and then a private dining experience at the hotel, finished with a night on the town.

Director Stuart Lawrance organised the trip. He joined Compass Accountants as a trainee accountant in 1987, aged of 18, and he is now a director of the organisation, which he bought in 2015, and co-owns with his wife, Kerry.
The Titchfield-based accountancy firm provides a comprehensive range of financial and business support services and ongoing strategic advice for various companies in Hampshire. It is also a specialist accountancy firm for charities and the not-for-profit sector.
Stuart said: ‘I have always believed that the most important asset of any business is its people. Which is why we chose to celebrate our 40-year anniversary by treating every member of the team.

‘It is also a great honour to mark this important date with all members of the team an d to show them that their commitment to our success over the years, has been both recognised and appreciated. We look forward to further success and marking many more significant dates in the future.’
