A new office as Holden Smith opens in Ilkley
Holden Smith will open a new office in Ilkley in January 2022
The team at Holden Smith is pleased and excited to announce that we’ll be expanding again with the opening of a new office in Ilkley in January 2022.
Our Ilkley branch will be the fourth office we’ve opened since Holden Smith was co-founded by James Smith, David Bancroft and Jamie Megson in February 2019.
Opening our new office in Ilkley will help us to deliver our ambitious growth plans and increase the geography of the work we already deliver across our Leeds, Huddersfield and Halifax branches so that more clients can benefit from our modern, agile and tech-focused approach to delivering residential and commercial property legal services.
The last 12 months have been very busy, and we’ve totted up a total of 6,000 new instructions during that time – all of which have taken place during a pandemic and the whirlwind that was the Stamp Duty Holiday.
““Now is the right time for our fourth branch to open and we’re looking forward to collaborating with our network across Ilkley and beyond.””
“We have experienced rapid growth in the last 12 months and recruited 23 new staff, taking our total headcount from the three of us in February 2019 to a team of 60 people”, explains Holden Smith co-founder, David Bancroft. “Now is the right time for our fourth branch to open and we’re looking forward to collaborating with our network across Ilkley and beyond.”
Co-founder, James Smith, adds: “We received over 6,000 new instructions during our last financial year with particular demand across our specialist residential and commercial property services, and we feel passionately that our approach of combining the latest legal technology with outstanding client interactions to deliver exceptional levels of service has been key to our success.
We’re also actively looking for new fee earners to join the Holden Smith team as we continue our exciting growth journey and would encourage anyone who is interested in a career with our ambitious and dynamic firm to contact david.bancroft@holdensmith.co.uk for a confidential chat.
David adds: “We’re a young, dynamic and very experienced firm and we are passionate about growing the business with an ambitious and driven team of solicitors who want to help shape the future of Holden Smith and make their own mark.”
We’d like to say thank you to all our clients, referrers, business network and our outstanding Holden Smith team for your continued support – and here’s to a smart new office!
James, David and Jamie.
