Our latest #NewAccession is a digital copy of a map of Middle Peak & Stoneycroft quarries, produced when Stanton Ironworks Co Ltd took 50% ownership from Bowne & Shaw Ltd in the 1920s. The Wirksworth firm traded in ironstone & limestone. The original plan is thought to have been destroyed.

A look back at some of our highlights from this year 🎉
From our summer strategy day - where the team met in person for the first time at EY’s London offices - to hosting our 8th and 9th Global Practice Interview Events. The feedback was incredible.
