Clarke Broome & Fleming has been providing first class accountancy services to the Fylde Coast and Blackpool business community since 1931 and will be celebrating its 85th birthday in 2016 a landmark that will truly illustrate the long and esteemed history that the practice has enjoyed. That history began with the firm's foundation, in Leopold Grove, Blackpool, where the original founder, Mr Percy V Clarke, established the business above the retail premises of Ernest Flower, a gentleman's outfitter. This proved to be an excellent move, in more ways than one, as Ernest Flower later became a prominent client of the practice. The firm continued to flourish during the hard days of the Second World War and the dawn of peace brought about changes within the business. Released from military duty, Percy's son, Ralph, and another professional, J Bernard Broome, joined the practice which, due to its enlargement, sought new accommodation above the offices of John Budd & Co. Solicitors, in South King Street, Blackpool.
