Law firm relocates to Northern Trust’s Ackhurst Business Park following significant growth

Vincents Solicitors has opened a new office at Ackhurst Business Park in Chorley. The Lancashire law firm has relocated its 16-strong Chorley team from St Thomas’s Road in the town centre, to the new larger premises in order to accommodate its expansion.

Chorley is the central hub for Vincents’ fast-growing residential property team led by June Caunce, head of the conveyancing department. The new 16,000 sq ft office will allow for the continued growth of the team which supports homebuyers and investors across the central Lancashire area and nationally, and which has tripled in the last three years

Vincents established a team in Chorley in September 2016 following a merger with local firm Yates Barnes and retained the St Thomas’ Road building. The move to Balmoral House at Ackhurst Business Park, which is just off the A581, also improves accessibility for staff and clients with ample parking available on the doorstep.

Phillip Gilmore, Vincents Solicitors managing director, said: “We have outgrown the original office thanks to the expansion of the conveyancing department across the business, and particularly under June in Chorley. Although we offer hybrid and flexible working options, many people enjoy coming into the office to work closely with colleagues for part of the week which, together with a general appetite for further recruitment across different service areas of the business, has resulted in a requirement for larger premises.”

Ackhurst Business Park is a well-known location for a variety of regional businesses and is already home to names such as Taziker Industrial Limited, One Stop Hire Limited, Trust Inns Ltd and Northern Trust Company Ltd, owner of the site.

Nick Hemmings, Regional Property Manager at Northern Trust, said: “Vincent Solicitors’ decision to join Ackhurst Business Park represents a significant addition to our thriving business community on the estate. Their reputation as a forward-thinking legal firm aligns perfectly with our vision of creating a dynamic and collaborative business environment. We are immensely excited to welcome them aboard and look forward to watching their continued growth.”

Vincents’ Chorley office also looks after all post-completion activity for conveyancing clients from each of the firm’s seven offices. The team has grown over the last few years – as it continues to take an ever increasing share of the county’s conveyancing market – and now has 33 specialists helping homebuyers and investors across its offices in Lytham, Penwortham, Poulton, Garstang, Preston and Chorley.
