Barry Barlow

Partner

Barry co-founded Butterworth Barlow and since the beginning has brought passion, dedication (and a bit of humour!) to everything he does.

Barry graduated from Leeds University in 1994 then spent 15 years with Grant Thornton in Liverpool before joining Gavin in 2009 to form the firm.

When he’s not working, Barry enjoys playing golf, cycling by the sea, and attempting to play the piano. With a love for working with people and building ongoing relationships, he’s committed to helping each client improve and get the best out their business.

Fun fact: Barry’s only ever other job was shelf stacking at the Co-op!
