Business advisory group opens new office in Chester
Leonard Curtis Business Solutions Group is opening an office in Chester.
The investment in the Abbey Square office will enable Leonard Curtis to work more closely with Chester-based and wider North Wales businesses, their stakeholders and advisors, to help meet the financial and operational challenges faced at every stage of a business’s lifecycle.
Donna Crompton will be leading the introductions to Leonard Curtis’s full service offering including experts in corporate and personal insolvency, funding and finance solutions, together with legal services.
She brings with her 22 years’ experience of business restructuring and recovery and has the back up of two highly rated insolvency practitioners – David Moore and Lisa Ion – plus a full support team.
She said: “Since we opened our Liverpool operation seven years ago we have gradually increased our professional services and wider business connections in Chester and the surrounding areas.
“Having a proper foothold in the city will help us to unlock more opportunities in Chester and, hopefully, in time, North Wales.
“We know people like to deal with locally-based people.”
The Chester office will take Leonard Curtis to 19 branches nationally and strengthen the company’s North West footprint, adding to existing locations in Bury, Preston, Liverpool and Manchester, where the company has its UK HQ, giving a unique five-office overview of the region’s business profile, needs and challenges.
Donna said: “Chester adds to an excellent geographical spread and, more importantly, access to considerable back-up when needed.”
Group director, Daniel Booth, said: “We think this is a good time to be investing in Chester city centre and providing access for local businesses to our particular expertise, helping them to get through the COVID-19 crisis and come back fighting.”
Donna added: “We know Chester has a worldwide reputation for excellence in hospitality and leisure, as well as a robust professional services sector and thriving corporate players, like Airbus and others.
“We will be looking to play our role in the city’s future and its successful return from the pandemic in time.”
