We are celebrating an INCREDIBLE milestone as Rachel Wadsworth marks 35 years of service at Bates Weston🎉

Over more than three decades, Rachel has witnessed significant changes across the business and built lasting relationships with clients and colleagues.

Rachel's journey began in 1991 and, following the merger that brought her to Bates Weston in 1998, she has become a valued and familiar face to both colleagues and clients alike.

Over the past three and a half decades, Rachel has witnessed huge changes in the profession, from handwritten messages and manual records to today's digital systems. Throughout it all, her dedication, adaptability and commitment to providing outstanding support have never wavered.

Rachel is particularly proud of balancing a successful career with raising her daughter, and credits the people around her as one of the reasons she has enjoyed such a long and rewarding career.

Thank you, Rachel, for your outstanding contribution, loyalty and hard work over the last 35 years. We are incredibly grateful for everything you have done and continue to do for Bates Weston.

👏 Congratulations on this remarkable milestone, Rachel!

Runners-Up! ⚽️

We had a fantastic evening at the annual Blusource Recruitment 5-a-side tournament on Tuesday, held at the new Powerleague Nottingham facility.

After some great team performances and a few impressive goals along the way, we were delighted to finish in second place! 🥈

Congratulations to the winners, a team from UHY Hacker Young, who remained unbeaten throughout the tournament — a well-deserved victory 🏆

A big thank you to the team at Blusource for organising another excellent event. We’re already looking forward to next year!

We are very proud of our colleague and friend Antonia Hall MAAT here at Bates Weston 💙

Antonia recently completed a charity skydive in memory of her dad, Julian, raising invaluable funds for two leading UK cancer charities and a local rising-star athlete.

Julian was passionate about supporting these causes and helping others who may face similar experiences, making the fundraising effort even more meaningful.

After her original jump was postponed due to unsafe weather back in October, Antonia took on the challenge and made the leap — despite overcoming a very real fear of flying. A truly remarkable show of courage and determination.

Together with family and friends, Antonia has already helped raise over £32,000, with more fundraising events planned in the months ahead.

Antonia, what you’ve achieved is truly inspiring — we couldn’t be prouder of you👏
