Wynniatt Husey Ltd
Founded in April 1983 by Reginald and Ralph Wynniatt-Husey, to trade as Wynniatt-Husey Brothers, the firm located itself above a bookshop in Horsefair, Rugeley, Staffordshire. Ralph was a high powered consultant working mainly in the banking world. Reginald’s background had been with Price Waterhouse in London followed by nearly 20 years in industry including a period as financial controller of a plc quoted on the London Stock Exchange.
Sadly though Wynniatt-Husey Brothers had no clients! However, all was not lost as the bookshop owner, who had formerly been employed by Reginald in the gravel industry agreed to take in passing trade, whilst the two brothers worked with new found clients in Saudi Arabia. A small UK practice was acquired from a retiring sole trader in 1985 and Reginald moved back to the UK in 1987 at a time when the Saudi economy went into a sharp decline. Ralph very decently gave financial support during a very difficult period in the late 80’s but then the UK firm found its feet, became financially stable and has never looked back. The firm changed its name to Wynniatt-Husey Ltd in 2000 and Ralph dropped out.
