The firm has seen double-digit growth for a number of years, reporting a turnover increase of 12 per cent in 2014/15 and 23 per cent during 2013/14. The results mean it is on course to become a £100m business by 2020 – a goal set out by chief executive Peter Smith back in 2014.

Oxford firm Henmans Freeth changed its name to Freeths at the start of this month, having been acquired by what was then Freeth Cartwright in 2012.
