1970s

In the early 1970s strikes restricted electricity across the country and for a time the working week for Poole Waterfield was reduced to three days. For some staff this meant that they had their first experience of “Working from Home”!

In those days our clients included steel stock holders, motor dealers and large engineering companies  based in and around Dudley.

Most companies required an audit at this time, however business consultancy was becoming more of a focal point with Mr Waterfield and Mr Poole providing sound business advice to the their clients, a number of which we are still advising today!
