Napthens is planning to open a new office in Manchester as part of its ongoing journey of strategic growth. 

The Manchester office is set to open in early autumn and sees Napthens moving into over 2,600 sq ft of space in Bruntwood SciTech’s refurbished Pinnacle office development on the iconic King Street.

The expansion marks a significant milestone in the firm’s continued growth across the north.

The move reflects their commitment to being where their clients and communities need them most, and to attracting and retaining the very best talent.

Stephen Faulkner, managing director at Napthens, said: “Manchester is the next step in our journey of strategic growth.

“The city’s energy, resilience, and warmth align perfectly with our Napthens ‘together is better’ ethos and personality. It’s a natural fit for our culture and ambitions.”

The Manchester office will be home to a blend of new talent and existing team members, further strengthening the firm’s regional presence.

Stephen added: “This expansion is a testament to the talent, dedication, and ambition of our people.

“We’re building on strong foundations and are confident that our Manchester base will play a key role in our future success.”
