A successful Swindon-based accountancy company which has been based in Old Town for 50 years is moving premises.

Monahans has been around for more than 120 years and says its presence in Swindon has been "at the heart of its business". 

The firm will now be moving to a bigger site in Churchward following the expansion of its team.

Now at 80 staff members, it is hoped the change- will facilitate the company's plans to grow by at least 10% over the next year.

Managing partner of Monahans Simon Tombs said: "Over the last 50 years, we’ve built up a very successful team in Swindon and have developed a strong connection and commitment to the community.

"We’re very pleased that this will continue having secured such a prestigious location in Hermes House. 

"The new office will provide a really first rate working environment and support the hybrid working patterns of our team.

"Who’s to say we won’t be there, powering future business growth, for another 50 years?"

A spokesman added: "Swindon is a hugely important area for us and we are pleased to say our new office perfectly complements our ambition to service the area.

"From here we intend to continue to bring local accountancy services with a national reach to the businesses of Swindon and surrounding areas."
