CG opens new £500,000 offices

Chorley based law firm CG has opened its new offices following a 12 month project and £500,000 investment.

The space, which was once a training centre, now features ergonomic office furniture, café quality cappuccinos, a pick and mix bar, grass walls and club class sound system.

The boardroom and meeting rooms have been named after the three children of managing partners.

Joint managing partners Stacey Turner said: “We’d been growing fast and needed new offices, so we took the opportunity to create something that would have a mix of practical requirements and wow factor.

“We have given an awful lot of thought about creating a friendly and practical environment that works for everyone who comes here — whether that’s our employees, our clients or our visitors.

"There’s a mix of functional spaces, private meeting rooms, quiet spaces and relaxed shared spaces. We’ve noticed a trend for some off-the-wall ideas, but we haven’t gone for any silly gimmicks — this is still a place where we can conduct business. But every aspect has been thought through, including the lighting, the décor and the finishes.”

The offices were officially opened by special guest Sir Lindsay Hoyle, speaker of the House of Commons at a party to celebrate the firm’s move.
