We’ve been around for 100 years!  Since our early days, our purpose has always been to “make a positive difference to people’s lives” and our mission is to “enable individuals and businesses to gain more freedom, through expert advice at every stage of their journey.”

We are therefore proud to have made a positive impact for the past century.

We are proud of our well-earned heritage and understated confidence born out of those many years of success.

In recent years, we are proud to have acquired Straughans Accountants Limited in Chester le Street, so our combined experience is now shared across our Jesmond and Durham office.

Your history matters to us too. That’s why we work to understand the stories behind you and your business, and how we can support you into the future.

Robson Laidler is made up of people from all walks of life, and we’re proud of our diverse departments that can provide you with support with everything from basic accountancy to business support and wealth management.

Since our merger with Straughans, our total headcount has grown to over 80 staff, from trainees to experts in their field, all of whom are here to help you move forward bigger and stronger.
