Duo retire after nearly 60 years of service

Blackburn based business advisory firm Pierce Group has bid farewell to two long-serving colleagues after almost 60 years of combined service to the business.

In May, Jane Bradford, associate director, retired after nearly three decades with the firm.

During her career at Pierce, she played a key role in supporting clients and colleagues alike, earning the respect of those she worked with across the business.

Jane leaves behind a strong legacy and is now enjoying retirement between the UK and Spain.

Audit adviser John Duckett also retired after more than 29 years with the firm.

He was an integral part of the audit team throughout his time at Pierce and is well known for his expertise, attention to detail and commitment to excellence.

John is now looking forward to spending more time on the golf course with a new club gifted by his colleagues at Pierce.

Jimmy King, chief executive, said: “Jane and John have each made an exceptional contribution to Pierce over many years.

“Their commitment to clients, their professionalism and the strength of the relationships they’ve built truly reflect the values we stand for as a firm.

“Long-standing colleagues like Jane and John play a vital role in shaping our culture and supporting the development of others, and their presence will be greatly missed.

“On behalf of everyone at Pierce, I would like to thank them for their outstanding service and wish them both a long, happy and well-deserved retirement.”
