A Blackburn accountancy firm has bagged a hat-trick of new clients including the town's leading interior brand, Graham & Brown.

PM+M's payroll team also secured Furness Building Society, a top 20 building society, and Forward As One Church of England Multi Academy Trust.

The team will be delivering a range of core services such as payroll and pensions administration.

Julie Mason, director of payroll at PM+M, said: "Over the past 12 months, we have seen strong demand for our services so winning these three new clients is another great achievement for the team – especially as each one is much respected in their own fields.

"Our aim now is to deliver a first-class service that is tailored to individual needs and that ultimately adds value."

Lisa Mitchell, group finance director at Blackburn-based Graham & Brown, said: "PM+M is a leading name in the North West finance sector so the team brings some first-class capabilities and insights in relation to payroll.

"I’m sure they will provide invaluable support to us over the coming months and years."

PM+M aims to enable each business to focus more on operations by offering efficient, accurate and safe payroll services.
