AN Accrington solicitors has moved into a larger offices after a busy year.

Watson Ramsbottom has acquired a larger office site 50 yards down from its previous home in Blackburn Road.

The relocation comes as a result of the company’s growth over the past few years.

This has seen the workforce increase to more than 70 and turnover consistently increasing as a result of growing client numbers.

Company bosses said the move also provides space for further expansions and more staff in the future.

Managing director Phillip Thompson said: “The decision to expand our presence in the Accrington area was a logical step in our business growth strategy.

“We continue to go from strength to strength and are excited about our current extensive refurbishment project which we hope reflects our growing positive reputation.

“In our Accrington office we had outgrown our previous premises and this move is an exciting new development for us.

“The diversity of our services is a real strength of Watson Ramsbottom in the current climate and our new office will enable us to provide an even higher level of service."
