We fuel future growth with new Lancashire home
We are investing in a state-of-the-art Lancashire office as we target further growth in the region.
We will relocate our Preston office, one of our three bases in the North West, to Bamber Bridge. The move follows a period of sustained growth and investment, which has seen the size of our Lancashire-based team more than double in the past five years. This follows a period of strong performance through the pandemic as we continue to build on our recently confirmed position as the third best law firm to work for in the UK, as well as one of the UK’s 100 Best Companies to Work For.
The new Grade A office space comprises more than 6,500 sq. ft across two floors in a self-contained exclusive office at Sceptre Court, Bamber Bridge, and features collaborative working spaces designed to support our new hybrid working model. The office’s exceptional transport links will help to fuel growth by making us more accessible to a growing list of clients across Lancashire, including a broad range of businesses from the county’s burgeoning SME community, in addition to high-profile public and private sector organisations including Lancaster City Council (Eden Project North).
The move is the latest in a sustained period of investment as we continue to build on four years of consecutive, profitable growth, and is a key element of the next phase of our growth plan that also coincides with our investment in 20,000 sq. ft of newly refurbished grade-A space at 100 Barbirolli Square, in Manchester city centre.
Our CEO, Robert White, said: “The upcoming move to Sceptre Court will be transformational for our team, as well as providing a flexible, collaborative and accessible space for the benefit of our clients and the wider business community in Lancashire - a market that is an integral part of our plans for the future.
“Lancashire is home to a diverse range of outstanding businesses and will always play a key part in ensuring a successful future for the North, as a whole – be that through strategic projects such as Eden Project North or the continued success of key market sectors, such as manufacturing and technology.
“Our move to Sceptre Court will undoubtedly enhance our ability to support our clients and the wider business community, as we seek to play our part in supporting their future success. It also represents our latest strategic investment, that demonstrates our commitment to the Lancashire market and to embracing our new agile working model.”
Our Managing Partner, Nik White, said: “Our move to Sceptre Court is our latest strategic investment as we continue to focus on building one of the most attractive law firms to work for in the UK.
As we embrace the transition to hybrid working, our new office spaces will offer the opportunity to re-define how we collaborate and strengthen the relationships both with clients and with each other.
We are looking forward to each of our new modern, flexible office spaces providing the platform for the firm to go from strength-to-strength.”
