KING-SIZE! That's one of Bury's fastest-growing businesses which is doubling in size!

Kings Business Transfer, which over the years has emerged as one of the North West's largest commercial property specialists, are creating a number of new jobs with their move into larger premises in the town.

And the company didn't have very far to look before they identified a suitable office which suited their expansion requirements.

With turn-over for the year up by 35 per cent, the company needs the extra space to cope with the ever-growing demand for their services.

Founded just eight years ago by partners Chris Rowlands and Gerry Murphy, Kings are leading players in the sale of commercial businesses for the retail, leisure and commercial sectors.

But, although the company is on the up and up, they aren't moving far. Kings are taking the offices nearby their old base on St Mary's Place in the town centre.

"We were in the process of looking for somewhere suitable for our expansion plans when the offices next-door-but-one became vacant," says Chris.

"Our new offices used to be the Conservative Party's headquarters and are twice the size of our present set-up. And that means we can expand the size of our operation."

Further good news is that the move is also creating a jobs boost for the company.

As Chris explained: "We are looking to take on about six new members of staff in the short term."

Kings have established an enviable reputation throughout Lancashire and the North West which is set to be maintained and enhanced in the future.

This is amply illustrated by the fact that today the company has some £100 million worth of property on their books.
