20 years of helping international citizens
Reg Bamford founded 1st Contact in 1995 to help the many Antipodeans and South Africans moving to the UK with their tax and accounting needs.
What began as as a small set-up in the Arches at Embankment soon grew into a thriving business in Piccadilly and Bow Lane with services covering contracting, tax returns, immigration, forex, shipping and travel (amongst others).
1st Contact has expanded into a multi-national operation with offices in London, Melbourne and Cape Town. We take pride in providing exceptional service, with over 60% of all our new business being word-of-mouth referrals from existing clients.
Today, we have over 250 professional staff members and have helped over 1 million clients across six distinct products.
