Napthens announces plans for new flagship Lancashire head office

Napthens are set to bring colleagues together in a new Lancashire head office as part of ongoing investment in the firm's future.

The legal and professional services firm has secured space at Waterside in Blackburn, creating a new head office that will bring together colleagues currently based at its Preston and Blackburn offices.

The move, planned for early 2027, follows an extensive search for a location that would support the firm's long-term ambitions, provide a modern and collaborative working environment, and reflect the way teams work today.

Stephen Faulkner, managing director, said: "This is an important milestone for Napthens and a significant investment in our future.

"We've spent considerable time exploring options across Preston and the surrounding area to find the right location for our Lancashire head office. Waterside gives us the opportunity to create a modern workplace that supports collaboration, strengthens connections across our teams and provides an excellent environment for both our colleagues and clients.

"Bringing our Preston and Blackburn teams together in one location will help us build on our strong culture, enhance the way we work together and support our continued growth across the north west."

The new office will provide modern facilities designed to support flexible ways of working, with collaborative spaces, meeting facilities and amenities for colleagues and visiting clients.

Napthens will continue to operate from its offices across the region, with the new Lancashire head office forming an important part of the firm's wider office network.
