Personal injury firm to open up in Rochdale and Stockport

Forster Dean Solicitors, a Merseyside-based personal injury specialist, is to open offices in Rochdale and Stockport after securing a “seven figure” funding package from Royal Bank of Scotland.

The new offices, which are due to open in the first quarter of this year, are part of an expansion plan which will see the firm add ten more locations in England and Wales over the next two years.

The Speke, Liverpool-based firm already operates from 15 offices in the North West and has a turnover of £7.2m with 43 fee earners out of 90 employees in total.

Chief executive Gregory Shields, who led a management buyout in 2007, said the firm wanted to build a national presence.
