Sector expertise

Deep roots in Cornwall's key industries

Our principals have spent their entire careers working with Cornwall's farming, tourism and leisure businesses — knowledge built from the ground up, not acquired from a textbook.

Who we work with

Thirty years of South West sector knowledge

Stephen joined Whitakers in 1993 and Paul in 1997. Both trained and qualified with the firm, giving them an understanding of the industries intrinsic to Cornwall and the South West that only comes from decades of hands-on client work. That depth of experience — across farming, tourism and leisure — is at the heart of what Whitakers offers.
