Progress of the new Sheffield office is really coming on, and we are all looking forward to moving to the old DVLA premises on Napier Street, Sheffield. Work has been busily underway ever since news of the move was announced in October, and we are currently still on target to move all staff from the current premises on Ecclesall Road by the end of 2014 / early 2015.

The opening of premises on Ecclesall Road in early 2002 marked the beginning of the firm’s expansion into the South Yorkshire region, when at the time only 1 in house partner and 2 staff were located in Sheffield. Over the 12 years that have followed, sustained growth has seen the office grow to employ 2 in house partners and in excess of 20 staff.
Malcolm Pope, Accounts partner based in Sheffield comments “These are exciting times for Shorts, and now is exactly the right time for this move. The growth we have experienced in Sheffield in the last 2 years and that we expect in the immediate future has seen a significant increase in staff numbers: quite simply we have outgrown our current office space. The new premises will allow us to work together in a bright, modern open plan environment representing the progressive forward thinking firm of today, as well as significantly improving our parking facilities for visitors and staff alike.”
Tax partner Scott Burkinshaw adds “At Shorts we pride ourselves on providing a high quality and truly proactive tax service, bringing ideas to our clients. We have found that this progressive and modern approach to tax is attractive to many of today’s successful businesses and individuals and I am confident that the new office will provide us with greater opportunities to further expand in the region.”
