Don’t just take our word for it…
My name is Emma and I am a Client Relationship Manager at Langricks and have been here now for 6 years. I primarily support and build existing relationships with new and existing client aswell as ensuring the smooth running of the practice.
Chris Langrick the founder of the business is continually looking to improve the company to make it the best place to work. Flexible working hours, hybrid working, regular social events, office closed throughout the Christmas period have all been implemented in the last few years.
So, what do I personally like about Langricks? Well, the location is fab (important right!), right in the heart of Wilmslow, good for lunches and shopping and not far from M & S and John Lewis always a bonus! The mix of staff is great too, the office is lovely, it has a great atmosphere, very laid back. It really feels like a family, not too big so everybody is close. The days go by quickly with office banter flying around, time flies when you are having fun!!
We all seem to have the same values, putting our clients first and foremost. Being part of a team that is focused on helping our clients succeed is actually really important to me and I have built many strong relationships with numerous clients.
I also value the way I’m treated as an employee, I have a great Director Mike Bowker who leads the Wilmslow office and whom I report to, he’s very supportive, we have a great relationship and he seems to care about me and the rest of the team. I feel fortunate to have a great boss and be part of this growing business.
If you’re looking for a boring traditional accountant, working 9-5pm with no social events, no work/life balance and no in-office perks, I would honestly suggest that you look elsewhere. If you need an exciting, social, fun place to work with lots of office banter then Langricks is definitely the place for you!
