Through our directors' strategic planning, the business has grown tenfold in 30 years, both organically and by acquisition. In Spring 2020, we will be renovating and refurbishing our Stockport headquarters to create a ground-floor reception and flexible meeting space, which will provide modern facilities and accommodation for our clients and administration team. We promote a culture of inclusivity and progression, and acknowledge and reward our teams for their hard work and achievements.
