Jack Ross has opened the doors to its first regional office — right on budget.

We held a special post-budget seminar to mark the official opening of our first satellite office in Futures Park, Bacup — a move that the firm hope could eventually lead to creation of six jobs.

Partner Umar Memon , will run the Rossendale office. He said: “The opening event was an opportunity to for us to introduce the Jack Ross team to members of the local business community. We felt combining it with a post-budget briefing would make it topical too and it proved to be a hugely successful evening.

“Our firm has been established for more than 60 years and this is the first time we have had an office outside of the city centre but we are delighted to have put down roots here in Rossendale. There is a thriving business community here that we are keen to get involved in.”

The event was attended by a number of businesses from across Lancashire.
