BLOOMIN' BRILLIANT 💐 ✨ Earlier this spring, we invited our people to roll up their sleeves, get creative, and embrace their inner florist at our flower arranging workshops across all our hubs. Originally timed with Mother’s Day in mind, the sessions became more than just an opportunity to gift a beautiful bouquet. They were a chance to pause, learn something new, and share a moment with colleagues - whether the final arrangement was for a mum, a mate, or just because. As always, our values were in full bloom: 🌱 Keep Learning - guided by local florists, many of us tried our hand at something totally new ❤️ Be Nice - with plenty of encouragement, teamwork, and shared “wait, how do I make this stay up?!” moments 🎯 Play All In - from bold colours to unexpected flower choices, everyone went for it ⚡️ Be Brave - because trying something unfamiliar (especially with an audience!) takes a little courage Here’s to more hands-on moments that bring us together - and remind us it’s OK to get stuck in, even when we’re out of our comfort zone. 🌸 #Culture #People #TeamMoments #SpringVibes #KeepLearning #BeNice #PlayAllIn #BeBrave

SHIFTING UP A GEAR IN AUTOMOTIVE 🚗💥 After bringing UHY Manchester – and its brilliant automotive team – into the CP fold last year, we’ve just hit another milestone: Ian McMahon is now our Head of Automotive.

AND THAT'S A WRAP 🎉   Last night we officially launched our Reading Superhub with Roaring for Reading – and wow, what a way to make our Thames Valley debut. ✨   We welcomed over 150 guests from across the local business community. The energy was buzzing, the drinks were flowing, and we may have had to politely encourage a few people to leave at the end of the night (always a good sign, right?).   A huge highlight was our guest host, Simon Rimmer - chef, restaurateur, and Sunday Brunch presenter - who shared the incredible story of how he became a chef: a journey shaped by sheer luck, creative thinking, and entrepreneurial spirit.   To top it off, Simon curated a menu of British charcuterie, championing the importance of supporting UK farms and producers - something we’re all about at Cooper Parry: backing bold, local, values-driven businesses.   Thanks to everyone who came, connected, and helped us celebrate in true CP style. Thames Valley – we’ve officially landed. 🦁✨     #Reading #ThamesValley #Events #Networking #SundayBrunch #RebelsOfAccountancy #BritishFarming
