JRW TURN TEN!

February 27th 2017

It’s hard to believe but JRW will turn ten years old this April.

Formed in 2007 by the merger of two of the oldest accountancy firms in the Borders, with the combination of the experience of the James Rosie partnership (1921) from Galashiels and Welch and Co (1924) from Hawick.
