We are proud to announce our next official Charity Ball sponsor.

Our heartfelt thanks go to Notarianni Ices Blackpool for their incredible sponsorship and support. The Vettese family have been close friends of Rawcliffe & Co for many, many years, so much so that they feel like they are part of our family. We’re proud to have you with us!

Notarianni's Ice Creams is a legendary, fourth-generation, family-run, ice-cream parlour located on Waterloo Road. Operating since 1928, it is famous for serving freshly made, homemade, Italian vanilla ice-cream. The iconic treat is still produced daily, using a closely guarded secret family recipe.

Their philosophy is "any flavour you like... as long as it's vanilla," which is churned fresh every day. The ice cream is served the traditional, old-fashioned way using paddles rather than modern scoops. By preserving and sharing these traditions, the Vettese family have become an important part of Blackpool’s cultural identity.

Founded by Luigi Notarianni, an Italian immigrant who initially moved to Scotland before settling on the Blackpool Promenade. The original shop moved in the 1930s, and the family has been operating from their current location ever since. Notarianni’s is a massive local institution and has been ranked as one of the best ice cream parlours in the UK. Check out their menu and opening hours on their website:

Thanks again, Michael, Rita, Luca & Maddie and we look forward to seeing you at the Ball.

There are moments in life that invite us not only to celebrate the past, but to come together with purpose for the future. This year marks a truly special milestone in Rawcliffe & Co’s memoire, our centenary! Reaching a centenary is no small achievement, for one hundred years this firm has supported businesses, families and communities through times of prosperity, challenge, change and innovation. From its beginnings in 1926, Rawcliffe & Co has grown and adapted across generations, while holding onto the values that matter most: professionalism, trust, integrity and personal service. Very few businesses can say they have served clients across an entire century. Think of all the changes the world has seen since 1926 — and through it all, Rawcliffe & Co has remained a steady and reliable presence for its clients and community.

Which is why we are delighted to commemorate 100 years of history, community and impact, with an unforgettable Black Tie Charity Ball, in honour of Trinity Hospice & Palliative Care Services & Brian House Children's Hospice. This elegant evening promises more than just celebration. It is an opportunity to reflect on a century of shared stories, achievements and relationships that have shaped who we are today. From humble beginnings to where we stand now, every step of the journey has been supported by people like you—our clients, community, family and friends.

At the heart of the evening lies a cause close to us all. This event is not only a celebration, but also a chance to give back. Through fundraising activities and donations, we aim to support initiatives that will continue making a meaningful difference in the community for years to come. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help carry forward the spirit that has defined the last century.

This anniversary is also a tribute to the people behind the firm: the founders who built it, the partners who guided it, the staff whose hard work sustained it and the clients whose loyalty made it possible. Every person who has walked through the doors of Rawcliffe & Co over the last hundred years has played a part in this story, so this milestone is an achievement for us all.

The Centenary Charity Ball will bring together generations of supporters for a night of connection, gratitude and generosity. Guests can look forward to a beautifully curated evening featuring fine dining, live entertainment and special moments that honour both our legacy and our vision for the years ahead. It will be a space to reconnect, reminisce and create new memories together.

We warmly invite you to join us for this landmark occasion. Your presence will make the evening even more meaningful, and your support will help ensure that the next 100 years are just as impactful as the first.

Let us celebrate the past, embrace the present, and invest in the future—together.

We look forward to sharing this extraordinary night with you.

With gratitude and anticipation,
Ian, Joe, Kirsten and all the team at Rawcliffe & Co

A Century of Balance (With a few accounting adjustments)

We’re extremely proud (and mildly bewildered) to have reached 100 years in accountancy. And before you say it, we know Kirsten, Joe and Ian, don’t look a day over 75!

That’s 100 years of balancing books, chasing receipts, and answering emails that could have been spreadsheets.

To celebrate, we’re hosting a charity ball—because apparently “mandatory fun” is still a thing.
We’re proud to be supporting Trinity Hospice & Palliative Care Services and Brian House Children's Hospice—two incredible organisations changing lives every day.

All jokes aside, it’s for a great cause, and we’d love you to join us for an evening of generosity, merriment, good food, and minimal discussion of tax codes.

Let’s come together to make a real difference! If you are interested in sponsoring or buying tickets for this event, please contact Rebecca on [email protected].
