Professional services group Leonard Curtis is expanding its regional footprint by opening a new office in Stoke-on-Trent.
The Manchester-based firm is moving into prime business accommodation on Festival Park.
From its Ridge House base, the firm will be ideally placed to offer advice on business turnaround, restructuring and insolvency to SMEs in Staffordshire, Cheshire and Shropshire.
Drawing on its three pillars of expertise – restructuring & insolvency, funding, and legal services – Leonard Curtis offers resolutions to challenges faced by business owners.
The firm already helps many businesses in the area but its new base will enable it to operate quicker and even more effectively.
Leonard Curtis Stoke will be led by Chris Knott, a director with more than 14 years of experience who has lived and worked within Staffordshire and Cheshire all his life.
Chris said: “The local area is a fantastic place to work with some amazing local businesses.
“I am proud to be opening the new office and to be bringing such a reputable, respected and industry-leading business solutions firm to the area.
“With the current economic perfect storm creating hurdles across all sectors, it has never been more important to be there to support local businesses and their owners.
“Leonard Curtis has helped hundreds of local businesses and owners over the years, assisting them with legal solutions, obtaining time to pay arrangements with HMRC, providing funding for expansion or cashflow assistance and guiding business owners through business turnaround and restructuring processes.”
