Tarleton firm shows strong growth and staff increases

By Harbour Business Group

07 Sep 2017

Based in Tarleton, Preston, Harbour Business Group (HBG) has had a bumper year.

This change and growth has only been possible due to the dedication of the individuals who are involved in the business, providing clients with customer service and business advice that is second to none. With the recent expansion, HBG has obtained a second office in Tarleton village, just yards away from the head office.

This financial year HBG has taken on eight new team members covering expertise in human resources, marketing, sales and operations. The first newcomer in Summer 2016 was Stuart Kelly, merging his business SPK Financial Recovery into HBG Corporate. Stuart is a licensed insolvency practitioner, chartered accountant and a member of the Association of Business Recovery Professionals. Stuart is the Head Partner of HBG Corporate.

Shortly after in January 2017, John-Paul Lander joined from Marshall Peters as an Assistant Manager in the operations department, overseeing insolvency case work and day to day running of the operations team.

Late January saw the appointments of Peter Mangham-Jones and Claire Barton.  Joining as directors of HBG Finance and HBG Property respectively. Peter has previously worked in two regionally influential financial firms and has the skills and expertise needed to take HBG Finance forward. Claire has a wealth of knowledge in residential and commercial property, previously running her own Estate Agency. Claire is perfectly suited for further growing HBG Property.

The most recent recruit to the practice is Alex Fletcher.  Alex has joined business development and is focused on new work wins across the group.  Alex’s background includes business development for the deVere Group, and prior to that he ran a telesales unit.

John Waller CEO of the Harbour Business Group.  “I put our growth down to three key areas, the economy, our dedicated team and our ethos of never over promising and never under delivering.
