Witham companies are celebrating a milestone after a cumulative 110 years in business.


Family-run F. Byford and Son has racked up 60 years alone after Frank Byford launched his furniture shop in Newland Street in 1955.


His grandchildren, brother and sister Malcolm Byford and Denise Wilde, still run the business, which is a high street landmark.


Acacia Business Services, owned by Tina Townsend, celebrates its tenth anniversary this month.

Personalise, in Newland Street, and Essex Business Machines also mark their tenth year and Compliant Solutions has been running for 15 years.


Dynamic Consultants, started by Dan Cook, is also celebrating its fifth year in business.

 

MP Priti Patel said: "I congratulate all those excellent businesses celebrating anniversaries this year. 

"Witham is a fantastic town for firms and entrepreneurs to set up and trade from and the success of these businesses will attract more investment into the town."
