The company was founded back in November 2007 by Sanjay Swarup.
The last 10 or so years have been eventful to say the least, but we’re extremely proud of the progress we’ve made as a business and the amazing people we’ve welcomed in the process.
It is always nice to look back to where we started, compare it to where we are now, and then celebrate everything that has happened in-between. To make it easy, we’ve created a timeline below that covers all of the key milestones in the recent history of SKS Business Services…
The company was founded back in November 2007 by Sanjay Swarup.
At the beginning of 2009 the company began trading, with Sanjay as CEO.
In November 2013 the SKS group merged with the reputable Gilroy & Brookes practice which is based in Farnham, Surrey. The practice is headed up by Anna Coote.
Exactly one year later, SKS merged with their next practice, which was Avalon Accounting in Tilehurst, Reading. This practice is headed up by Paul Quinan.
In the March of the following year SKS welcomed Tunbridge Wells practice Ward Mackenzie into the family. The practice there is headed up by Joanna Green.
After just over 18 months with no new additions, the merge with Ledger Sparks was completed. The Croydon based firm continues to be headed up by Bobby Bhogal and Daniel Glover.
August 2018 saw the arrival of Central London practice Ramon Lee. Offering a wide variety of services, the firm is headed by David Terry and Bruce Jones.
The summer of 2019 involved merging with the Westlake Clark business. With offices in Southampton, Lymington and New Milton, it was the first multi-location arrival and continues to be headed by Peter Clegg and Fabrice Legris.
It was a busy Summer in 2019 as we merged with reputable Stevenage based firm Baker Watkin, headed by Paul Craggs and Roy Baker, who boast a team of over 7 dedicated individuals who are all driven to help their - and now also our - clients succeed.
The second arrival of 2019 saw Buckinghamshire based firm Cansdales join the SKS family. James Foskett, who has been a director since 1984 continues to run the practice to this day.
September 2019 was a busy month, with Thompson Jones also arriving. The practice, which covers most of the Manchester area is headed by Peter Carlin and John Stone.
Exactly a year later saw the biggest merge to date. By welcoming Bailey Group into the SKS family, we brought on board additional offices across the UK - primarily in the North East. As you'll see in a few of our videos, SKS Bailey Group is still headed by Chris Bailey.
With SKS as a whole continuing to grow, we thought that it was only right to update and upgrade our website to something that showcases who we are. So, welcome to our new website and keep an eye out for the next steps in the SKS story...
