Law firm FBC Manby Bowdler expands into new Wolverhampton city centre office

The growing firm has taken new offices at Paycare House across the road from its long-term base in George Street.

Chief executive Neil Lloyd said the move was part of the firm’s continuing growth strategy and represents a significant investment in the city and the business's future.

He said: “We have a long heritage in Wolverhampton and are delighted to be able to further strengthen our position in the city."

“We have enjoyed a period of considerable growth after securing a £30 million investment from Horizon Capital last year to be the founding firm of the new Adeptio Law Group, and this move means we can deliver our stellar service to even more clients in the future.

“The move to the new office will allow us to bring more of our teams together in one centralised space, helping them to work better and making our service even more convenient to clients.

“It’s a vote of confidence for Wolverhampton and the wider region, which we believe has a really bright future.”

Teams who will be based at the new offices include finance, risk and compliance, new enquiries, HR and marketing.

FBC Manby Bowdler has bases across the West Midlands, Shropshire and Worcestershire and is one of the region’s most successful law firms, employing more than 200 people.  Turnover topped £16 million in the last year and the firm has plans to double its size in the next 12 months.

It recently opened a new office in Knowle, Solihull, and its solicitors and lawyers regularly feature in national guides to the best professionals in the sector.
