About Mather Partnership, Helston

25 Meneage Street Helston TR13 8AA
Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation logo 0

Founded in the heart of Helston in 2000, our journey began in a modest office with just three dedicated staff members. Steve and Angie Mather, a well-known local couple, laid the foundation for what would become a thriving family business. In 2005, we welcomed Emma Mather, now our Managing Director, to the team. Pete joined us in 2007 and, after buying the business in 2010, he played a pivotal role in our expansion. By 2014, we had outgrown our original space and moved to a larger office on Meneage Street, where our team continued to flourish. Today, our Helston office proudly hosts a team of 11 talented individuals. In 2025, we extended our reach even further by opening a second office in Hayle, bringing our trusted services to an even wider community.

Our growth story is a testament to our commitment to excellence and the strong relationships we’ve built with our clients over the years. Follow us on our social media platforms to keep an eye on what we are up to.
