Our History
The recorded origins of Sills & Betteridge date back to 1759. The firm gets its name from Mr G R Sills who ran the firm alone until 1948 when he accepted Roger Betteridge into partnership. Mr Betteridge retired in 1976 and Roger Wallis took over the business. Karen Bower-Brown is the firm’s current senior partner.
The firm’s head office is at Aquis House, Clasketgate, Lincoln.
