Looking for an established firm of Chartered Accountants in Cheshire, North Wales or the Wirral? Johnstone Howell & Co have had a presence in Ellesmere Port since 1929 when A A Johnstone first opened his office in Carnegie Street. Since then the economic growth and prosperity of the town, the Wirral and the surrounding areas have resulted in the creation of many commercial concerns involving a wide variety of activities and private tax clients who have relied on our support.
