WilderCoemunnicate Celebrating 30 years This year Wilder Coe Burgess Hill is proud to celebrate its 30th anniversary. ‘We’ve worked with so many interesting people and businesses, many of whom have been with us since we started,’ says Chris Rebbetts. ‘It’s been a privilege to see businesses develop, provide support for new businesses and build positive and ongoing relationships with our clients. And I’m delighted that my own business has grown to include Simon Lea as a partner and a team of fantastic people who can offer a full accountancy service to our clients.’ In 1983 Britain was a dynamic and energetic place to live. Margaret Thatcher won a landslide victory with a majority of 144 seats and a youthful Tony Blair took his first seat in parliament as MP for Sedgefield in County Durham. Unemployment was at a record high (3,224,715 in early February); the March budget raised tax allowances and cut Corporation Tax and Chancellor Nigel Lawson vowed to cut public spending by £500million. It was the year when seat belts became mandatory for drivers and front seat passengers; the CD was launched and the pound coin was introduced. In October over a million people demonstrated against nuclear weapons at a CND march in London. The Austin Metro was Britain’s best-selling car and the average cost of a house was £26,500. What else? Blackadder hit our screens for the first time; Manchester United and Brighton & Hove Albion drew 2-2 in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium (sadly Brighton were beaten 4-0 in the replay); Elton John released ‘Too Low For Zero’. And Wilder Coe opened for business in Burgess Hill!
