Administrative / Biographical History

Harold Senogles was born [1898] the eldest of three children of George and Isabella Senogles of Menai Bridge. He served in the first world war as a cadet in D Company; 8th Cadet Battalion. In 1921 he achieved the intermediate examination of the Institute of Chartered Accountants. Senogles & Co, Chartered Accountants was first established in 1925 in Bangor, North Wales by Harold Senogles. The firm's focus was on accounts preparation and taxation advice to businesses and sole traders in the Isle of Anglesey (Ynys Môn) and Caernarfonshire region of North Wales. Steady progress was made in their offices in Arvonia Buildings, Bangor and the practice grew in terms of clients and staff. In 1948, on his return from active service in India and Palestine with the British Army, David Senogles joined the practice as an articled clerk. Gradually, David took over the running of the practice from his father Harold. A smooth handover passed the baton from father to son. On the sudden death in 1985 of David Senogles, the family practice was sold to local accountants Cecil Williams Denton & Co; itself a very well established and respected firm in Bangor. During the early years of this transition, both Geoffrey and his sister Delyth worked in the firm - which now trades as Willams Denton.
