The Harrison Drury annual corporate rugby day was, yet again, a great success.

Yet more evidence that Lancashire business are thriving despite reports of a looming recession, is our announcement that we are taking on the economic slowdown and launching a new commercial law firm in East Lancashire. Greg Boyes and Andy Herricks will head up Harrison Drury LLP Solicitors, and will work in association with our Preston firm, Harrison Drury & Co.
John Chesworth said: “Our strategy has always been to expand the geographical reach of Harrison Drury and the opening of the associated East Lancashire office has enabled us to bring in two first class corporate and commercial lawyers who have a deep understanding of the needs of the local business community. We’ve created a business which doesn’t have the rigid configuration of a traditional professional practice. This gives us better business systems, quicker decisions and ultimately a better service to clients. Harrison Drury can now offer businesses and individuals across the North West the full range of legal services. It’s an exciting move.”
Greg Boyes said: “Whilst we are conscious of current economic uncertainty we believe that Harrison Drury is well positioned to advise those who are determined to succeed. There remains much business to be done.”
