Staff at accountancy company Forrester Boyd are celebrating after it scooped a top award. Forrester Boyd – which has more than 150 employees based in offices in Grimsby, Louth, Scunthorpe, Skegness, Lincoln, Beverley and Leeds – toasted success as Employer of the Year at the prestigious Yorkshire Accountancy Awards.
The company, which has its head office in Beverley, also received a Highly Commended accolade for its marketing team in the Support Team of the Year category at the ceremony. Held last week at the Royal Armouries in Leeds, the Yorkshire Accountancy Awards bring together leading firms and professionals to single out excellence within the profession.
Directors said winning Employer of the Year marks a significant achievement for the firm, reflecting its continued investment in its people, culture and long-term development. The award recognises organisations that demonstrate a strong commitment to employee wellbeing, career progression, inclusivity and creating a positive working environment.
The awards come during an exciting period of growth for Forrester Boyd, which is developing of its Leeds office while investing in its teams across the region.
The group was formed in 1935 by the merger of Mr SM Forrester, who began practising in Grimsby in 1900 and Mr W Robson Boyd, who set up practice in 1910 and is now one of the largest independent chartered accountancy practices in Lincolnshire and the Humber region.

Forrester Boyd expanded into Scunthorpe in 1937 and Louth in 1939. It also had an office on the docks – until an incendiary raid on the pontoon by Hitler’s Luftwaffe in 1943 destroyed it.
Chantelle Rogers, HR manager said: “We are absolutely thrilled and incredibly proud of the Firm and everything we have achieved in winning Employer of the Year. This award means so much to us because our people are at the heart of everything we do. To be recognised for the culture we have worked so hard to build, and the environment we have created, is truly rewarding.
“In addition, the firm’s marketing team was Highly Commended in the Support Team of the Year category, acknowledging the impact of its strategic marketing initiatives, brand development and support for business growth across the firm’s offices also see our Marketing Team Highly Commended is a real testament to their creativity, energy and strategic focus. They play a vital role in communicating our values, supporting our teams and strengthening our presence across Yorkshire and beyond.”
