LANCASHIRE'S largest accountancy firm has undergone a name change.

Chorley-based Latham, Crossley & Davis will now be known as Lathams.

"Generally we are known as Lathams so it makes sense for our clients, contacts and staff to adopt the simplified version," said managing partner Keith Seeley.

The firm began in 1978 at Crossley & Davis and now has 18 partners based at office in Chorley and Manchester.
