Blackhurst Budd is delighted to announce that Blackpool Tower will be lit up in our signature purple next Thursday, 16th July, as part of our celebrations marking 150 years of serving the people and businesses of Blackpool and the wider Fylde coast.
Our roots trace back to 1876, when William Blackhurst established his practice on Church Street in Blackpool. The firm has stood alongside this town through generations of change ever since, operating under a number of partnerships as successive generations shaped its identity. In 2009, Blackhurst Budd was formed through the merger of Blackhursts LLP and John Budd & Co, later incorporating LSC Solicitors and Coope, Purvis and Taylor.
Reaching 150 years is a milestone few firms achieve and we wanted to mark it in a way that reflects our deep connection to Blackpool. There is no landmark more fitting than the Tower itself. William Blackhurst opened his doors in 1876, eighteen years before the Tower itself was completed in 1894 and it felt right to join our story with one of Blackpool's most recognisable symbols, if only for one night.
Keep an eye on our social media channels for photos and updates on the evening and join us in reflecting on 150 years of history and looking ahead to many more to come.
