About Oriel Oriel Business Services was formed in mid-2000 to provide businesses with a comprehensive range of business and accounting services. Since formation, we have attracted clients mainly by recommendation, with a high proportion of repeat business and have grown to approximately twenty staff. Our base is a prestigious office in the heart of Regency Cheltenham. We provide a quality service both locally and nationally. At Oriel, we aim to be unique in the breadth and excellence of our services and believe that our expertise should be available to you at an affordable price. Brian Pursey - Founder and Managing Director

After qualifying as a chartered accountant, I spent over fifteen years as a senior financial manager, mostly at Finance Director level. I am experienced in all aspects of financial management and have personally overseen the sale and purchase of a number of businesses. I have also been closely involved in several MBOs and MBIs. I founded and grew two businesses and wish to share my skills and experience with other businesses, helping them to grow and succeed. Outside work, I try to spend the maximum time possible with my family. When I can, I sing classical music and I also find the time to follow our local football team, Cheltenham Town.

I bring a wealth of experience from over seven years in financial management, troubleshooting and implementing financial procedures for multi-branch blue-chip companies through to small limited companies. I have been with Oriel from conception, providing a 'hands-on' approach to the services offered. I personally deal with client requests for many of Oriel's services and ensure that the organisation of our Cheltenham offices provides a level of satisfaction that is second to none. Outside work, I am interested in socialising, entertaining and the odd game of ten pin bowling.
