Established Manchester accountants bring nearly a century of experience to The Business Show London this November
LONDON, UK. October 14th, 2026: With almost a century of experience supporting businesses through changing economic conditions, Wilds Chartered Accountants is preparing to bring its regional expertise to a national audience. The Manchester-based firm, trusted by generations of local businesses, will take part in The Business Show at ExCeL London this November, demonstrating how established knowledge and forward-thinking advice can help companies succeed.
This November, Wilds will exhibit at The Business Show, where Managing Director Lyanne Jones has been invited to deliver a session titled “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.”
For a practice with deep roots in the North West, appearing at a major London business event reflects the changing nature of professional services. Businesses increasingly prioritise the quality of advice, industry knowledge and strength of relationships over geographical proximity. The right adviser no longer needs to operate on the same doorstep.
Since the 1930s, Wilds has helped businesses navigate the challenges of running and growing a company. Today, its client base extends throughout the UK, supported by a flexible approach that combines personal meetings, digital tools and forward-looking guidance.
“Geography is becoming less important in how businesses choose their advisers,” said Lyanne Jones. “Business owners want people who understand their ambitions, challenge them when necessary and help them make better decisions. Whether they’re based in Manchester, London or anywhere in between, those needs are the same.”
Her presentation will examine the realities of running a business in today’s UK economy, highlighting both the pressures and possibilities facing entrepreneurs. Topics will include economic uncertainty, increasing operating costs, business growth, effective planning and the importance of building resilience. The aim is to offer practical insight grounded in the everyday experiences of working with business owners.
The invitation also gives Wilds an opportunity to demonstrate the contribution regional firms make to the wider UK business community.
Over the decades, the firm has built lasting partnerships with owner-managed companies and family businesses. Its services span accountancy, taxation, payroll, bookkeeping and strategic business advice, combining established professional values with a modern understanding of commercial challenges. This approach gives clients access to the quality of business advisory services associated with London firms, while retaining the continuity and personal attention of a long-established regional practice.
For Lyanne Jones, speaking at a national event is an opportunity to highlight the expertise and ambition found beyond the capital.
Throughout the two-day exhibition, visitors will be able to meet the Wilds team, explore its services and discover how a Manchester firm approaching its centenary continues to support businesses across the country.
As the team prepares for the event, its message remains clear: high-quality advice, trusted partnerships and ambitious thinking can thrive anywhere, regardless of location.
Almost 100 years after its beginnings, this philosophy continues to shape the firm’s approach to helping businesses move forward.
