About the employer

For almost a century, since 1927, we’ve been giving businesses in Manchester, the North West and beyond, the space to turn their boldest ambitions into reality. All that accumulated experience gives us a certain confidence, which is why we didn’t hesitate to embrace cloud software (we’re Xero partners). Clarity is our thing. We’ve never subscribed to the idea that knowledge is power, or that there’s benefit in keeping clients confused.
