AN expanding firm has opened a new office to cope with demand.

First Business Support, based in Rawtenstall, offers companies specialist advice in areas including employment law and health and safety legislation. The firm has now opened a satellite office in Surrey. "Business is booming. We have just celebrated another record month and we are continuing to expand rapidly," said John Malley, joint managing director of the firm he founded with his wife Yvonne - with whom he is pictured, right - four years ago.

The firm offers a telephone advice service 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
