Birmingham insolvency practitioners relocate to new offices

A Birmingham insolvency practitioners has relocated to new offices in the city as it prepares to embark on a new stage of its growth.

Poppleton & Appleby has moved to St Paul’s Square after 15 years at its former base just around the corner in Ludgate Hill.

Maintaining its city centre presence will enable the firm to continue serving its existing clients.

The move will see senior partner Martin Coyne, who joined the firm in 1993, retiring from the business.

Andy Turpin and Matt Hardy took over the running the business in July last year and this year, both are celebrating 21 years with the firm.  

Mr Turpin said: “We had been looking to move for some time to an open plan headquarters and this coincided perfectly with the end of the current lease at Ludgate Hill.  

“The building had served us very well for the last 15 years but the new premises is ideal to meet the needs of a changing working environment for the business.”

Mr Hardy added: “We are grateful to the former partners of this long-established practice who have helped shape it and played a major part in the development and growth of Poppleton & Appleby and, having worked alongside them, we aim to continue with their legacy.”

Poppleton & Appleby was founded in 1885 and employs 14 staff.

Following the expiry of its lease, the firm’s former premises are set to be converted into a new restaurant.

A planning application seeks to change the use of the lower ground, ground and first floors of the building to restaurant purposes. The conversion will see a new shop frontage installed but the second and third floors will remain in use as offices.
