North West business community encourage new accountancy business

Manchester is the sixth location for a national recruitment consultancy, which underlines the strength of the North West.

Andrew Farr Associates is the fastest growing accountancy recruitment consultancy in the UK and specialises in placing senior level accounting personnel into industry, commerce and practices. They began trading in January 2005 and now have 6 offices, including owning Select Accountancy.

Despite many commentators who say the North West is heading for a slow down, this latest development signals that that the area is likely to thrive even further. Andrew Farr is Managing Director and comments ìThe location is reflective of the prosperity of the North West region as a whole.î Farr explains that ìwe conducted lengthy research into the location of our new office, after the successful launch of our Birmingham, Nottingham, Windsor and Select Accountancy operations, and we believe the North West economy will grow more rapidly over the next three years than the UK as a whole.î

Backed by one of the worldís largest recruitment organisations, the success of the office set-up can be attributed in part, to the local community. ìThe local population, council and chamber of commerce have all been supportive of this venture,î explains Farr ìthis is testament to the area as a whole and the main reason why it is thriving. It was certainly a factor in our decision to locate hereî

With numerous local and national businesses already making contact and working with the company, and some big wins under their belt, it demonstrates that the accountancy industry has never been so strong, which will benefit Manchester and the surrounding regions for many years to come.
