“Barretts” was formed by Ian Barrett in February 1992. Ian commenced as a sole practitioner operating from offices in Victoria Street, Paignton, with a secretary, a computer and 10 clients. In July 1995 Marianne Barrett Rogers joined Ian as a partner. As the practice grew, larger premises were required and the firm has now moved from Paignton to its present location in Torquay. In July 1999 the partnership was incorporated as Check Book Ltd.
