Hello.. Welcome to Patrick & Menzies,
Manningtree branch
What's happening to my branch?
Stephen Priem has decided to enjoy well earned retirement from running the Piper and Priem practice in Manningtree. He has entrusted us to carry on the business, merging with Patrick & Menzies.
The practice is currently undergoing refurbishment, and we are aiming to be open with a new look, but the same familiar faces in mid September.
