You are hereHome / About / Our heritage
For over 130 years, we have been making a real difference through the energy and dynamism of our forward-looking approach.
Throughout this time, the firm has undergone a number of iterations to become the respected business it is today, but one thing remains as true now as it was when the firm was founded in 1893: our commitment and dedication to delivering astute, professional advice and exceptional client service.
It is not known if Mr Wilson Wright actually put up his brass plate on 1st June 1893, but that was the day the Institute of Chartered Accountants issued his associate certificate, enabling him to commence practice.
He did so from premises in Anstey Road, Loughborough Junction, South East London. Mr Wright had qualified some 6 years earlier in 1887.
These were early days, not only for Wilson Wright but also for the accountancy profession. The Institute itself only receiving its royal charter in 1880.
Wilson Wright’s move to Central London came in 1904, when he opened an office at 1 Hatton Garden, just across the way from where the famous Gainages store used to stand on Holborn Circus, and where Wilson Wright would stay for 68 years. How ironic, after moving to Chancery Lane in 1972 and then to Kingsway in 1989 that the firm returned to Holborn Circus in 2009 where it presently resides.
Under Wilson Wright’s stewardship he employed 2 staff.
Wilson Wright moves office to Thavies Inn House, allowing the practice to expand to the young, dynamic 10 Partner practice it is today.
In its first year of entering, Wilson Wright was crowned London’s best accountants as the winner of the Independent Firm of the Year for Greater London, at the British Accountancy Awards.
Wilson Wright proudly appoints Adam Cramer as CEO following his journey at Wilson Wright which began in 1988. Since becoming a partner in 1994 Adam has built a sizeable client base that covers many varied sectors and industries.
“130 years ago, Mr Wilson Wright established this great practice, since then the firm has continually evolved and whilst we want to retain our heritage, going forward we are determined to be leaders in an ever-changing business advisory environment. In this respect, my ethos is not about revolution, but evolution, ensuring that all at Wilson Wright focus on what we can do for every stakeholder – the ‘people’ behind every single Corporate entity, every Trust and every Private Client that we have the privilege to act for.”
