STAFF at the Blackburn office of Lancashire law firm Napthens are relocating.

The firm will be handed the keys to the new offices, on Challenge Way, Whitebirk, this month.

A month of refurbishment will follow for the two-storey, 4,510sq ft offices, with staff moving from the current facilities at Wellington Street (St John’s) in the town.

The doors will open for clients from mid-September.

Partner Martin Windle, head of the Blackburn office, said the move to the new, modern offices would give staff a better working environment and clients easier access to the law firm thanks to the area’s transport links and on-site parking.

Approximately 25 staff will be making the move.
