PPS Accountants Steam Ahead. Dave Tayler, a volunteer at Wiltshire-based Crofton Beam Engines, is set to be the special guest speaker at the PPS Chartered Accountants summer charity breakfast. It takes place on Thursday, June 19th.
This popular event run by the team at the Swindon-based accountancy firm offers a fantastic opportunity for local business professionals to:
- Network
- Enjoy a delicious breakfast …
- … and engage in inspiring discussions, all while supporting a worthy cause.
Dave Tayler will share the fascinating history of the world’s oldest working beam engines. The engines remain housed in their original location on the Kennet and Avon Canal near Marlborough.Â
‘We’d like to introduce attendees to Crofton Beam Engines. It’s an incredible piece of our industrial heritage that still operates today,’ said Dave.
‘The engines, dating back to 1812, played a crucial role in transporting goods between London and Bristol. Today, volunteers maintain Crofton and keep this remarkable site running. We’re excited to share our story and inspire new generations to appreciate and support our heritage.’
We’re delighted to have Dave Tayler join us as our guest speaker for the June breakfast,’ said Sally Holland, Partner at PPS Chartered Accountants.
Attendees enjoyed talks from guest speaker Taylor Wheeler of Simple Day. That comprised an intriguing look at Artificial Intelligence. And Sarah Bear, shared the effective work of Wiltshire Treehouse.
Sally added, ‘We’re thrilled that, at our last event, we raised over £400 for Wiltshire Treehouse. This shows the generosity of our local business community. And we’re proud to support such an important cause. We’re looking forward to another successful breakfast in June. We’re sure it will be another great opportunity to network and give back to our community.’
