A FINANCE firm has moved into new office space at Daresbury Park after six months of renovation work.
Dow Schofield Watts purchased the two-storey block at the end of last year in a £1.25 million deal and has undertaken a 'substantial programme' of refurbishment.
Following the development the company's new 6,000 square foot home has been transformed to include a large seminar room, eight meetings rooms, video conferencing facilities and coffee areas to encourage a 'more collaborative' work environment.
James Dow, founder of Dow Schofield Watts, which delivers a partner-led and executed corporate finance service across diverse industries, welcomed the move.
He said: "The flexible, fresh, original design and interior reflects our business and approach to working.
"The building will comfortably accommodate the team currently in the business but also reflects our ambition with immediate capacity to rise to 60 people."
The move has been 'required to accommodate the rapid growth' of Dow Schofield, which during the last five years has seen the number of professional staff increase from 12 to 41.
Its suite of professional services includes corporate finance, VAT, business recovery, as well as forensic and transaction services.
Since the business started in 2002, the corporate finance team has completed 159 deals, with a combined value of £3.2 billion.
Director Philip Price added: "The move into state-of-the-art new offices illustrates our confidence in the ongoing growth of the firm as well as our commitment to providing the right environment for clients and visitors and a comfortable, efficient working environment for our team."
