Many of our colleagues, who travel to Blackburn from our other city locations, are impressed by the quality of the offices here and it has transformed people’s perceptions of what Blackburn can offer.
“We are keen to grow in Blackburn and expand into more office space and we want to encourage people who were originally from the area, who perhaps have moved away when they went to further education or following their graduation, to come and see what we have in their hometown.
