Description
History of Glover & Co
Though one of the smaller accountancy firms in the town, Glover & Co is among the oldest, having been active since 1923. Originally a joint activity between two brothers, with accountancy and estate management taking equal parts of the business, it has developed through a series of changes to the firm as now constituted.
The name Glover & Co first came to use in 1920, when the single Scunthorpe office merged with practices in Doncaster and Wakefield, offering an extension of accountancy services to the area, coupled with the estate management connection that had been built up. During the 1930’s and early 1940’s the firm, managed locally by Mr Harold Bone, operated under the direction of the senior partner in Wakefield but was very much concerned with small local businesses and the taxation problems associated with them.
In 1945 a decisive step was made, whereby the Scunthorpe office became completely independent under the proprietorship of Mr Harold Bone, a long established and well respected local businessman, and from that time the principal place of business has been in Scunthorpe. In 1951 Mr Derek Bone then a recently qualified Scottish Chartered Accountant joined the practice firstly as an employee and then in 1953 as a partner. For 10 years father and son continued the policy of offering a range of accountancy, taxation and general advisory services to small local businesses and members of the farming community in the surrounding area, grappling with the wide range of problems presented by a continually changing taxation system, including the transfer from Gainsborough to Scunthorpe of the then district office.
