-

Blemain Group, the North West based specialist lender, has confirmed the successful relocation of its 340staff to new offices in Cheadle.

The company, which announced the move earlier this year, relocated to the popular Cheadle Royal BusinessPark at the beginning of September. Following a carefully planned period ofemployee and partner communication, the move was completed in just two days.

It follows a number of successful years for the company, which have seen its workforce expand from 270 to over 340 in two years.

Lakeview, the new state-of-the-art office building, offers 75 per cent more accommodation than its predecessor, allowing room to accommodate the company’s growth.

This is in addition to the new facilities and working processes put in place to enhance the employee experience. New staff benefits include the availability of season ticket loan and a courtesy bus service to transport staff from the city centre to Cheadle.

Kevin Fisher, HR director of Blemain Group, commented: “Relocating so many employees is no easy task, but we achieved it. It took a great deal of careful planning and hard work so that our entire workforce was prepared for the move when it came and understood the benefits if offered them. The new offices have all the amenities we need toprovide staff with an inspiring and dynamic working environment that reflects our business’s vision and ambition.

“The business is constantly adding to its broker and partner network and we need the people in place tosupport this impressive growth. We are looking forward to adding more people to our expanding workforce in the coming months and years.”
