As we network both locally and regionally, we have positioned ourselves to become first contact point for our clients when business queries arise. David Coleman & Co Ltd first came about when David purchased the Matlock office of his former boss Keith Bradshaw back in November 2001 and acquired 150 clients and 2 members of staff. Prior to that David had been a manager in 3 quite different firms but was frustrated that he was bound by their way of doing things. So, right from the outset of owning his own business, David decided that he wanted to offer a more personal and proactive service to his clients which involved meeting with them at their home or business premises and at a time that suited them and really getting to know what they wanted to achieve in their business and personal life and helping them to achieve those goals by having a more in-depth involvement. This new approach proved to be successful and David’s business grew hand in hand with his client’s success such that Scott and Hayley Bradshaw were appointed Partners in the business in November 2005 (which became known as Coleman Bradshaw) and the Sutton in Ashfield office was purchased from Mitchells Chartered Accountants in December 2007, such that the practice now had over 1,000 clients and 17 members of staff spread over the 2 offices.
