Muckle advises Fairstone on HQ move
Lawyers from our real estate team supported our long-standing client, Fairstone Group, with its move to its new HQ at Doxford International Business Park.
The acquisitive wealth management firm, which has been based in Newcastle for the past 15 years, moved to its new head office as it looks to strategically expand its business.
The new state-of-the-art HQ includes collaborative meeting spaces, business lounges, private pods, a media studio and an amphitheatre to host events for the firm's wider business partners.
Expanding teams
Chief executive Lee Hartley said: "We are committed to maintaining the highest level of standards for new and existing clients and colleagues alike, so as our business continues to grow, the new location will help to deliver those requirements.
"Our new space will house the expanding teams that are driving forward our ambitious growth plans and strategic objectives as well as helping us to continue to attract high calibre talent.
"Sunderland has a long track record of supporting ambitious, growing businesses so we're proud and delighted to join the likes of Nissan, EE and Barclays in making this investment."
Legal support
Legal advice was provided by our real estate team including support from partner Gail Bennett and associate Beth Thompson.
Gail said: “This is an exciting development in Fairstone’s journey, and we were delighted to be able to assist with the legal aspects of the relocation. The group is growing rapidly and needed a space that could accommodate its expanding workforce and strategic needs.”
Lee said: “Muckle has been a great partner to Fairstone over the years, and this transaction was no different. At all times, they remained solution-focused, efficient and highly flexible, with exceptionally quick turnaround times. We are delighted to get this over the line with Gail and the team’s support.”
