Black Country presence for firm

A team of financial experts are predicting a bright future after establishing a permanent presence in the Black Country.

Ludgate Finance which, along with its sister business Poppleton & Appleby, already has offices in Birmingham and Coventry, has expanded by opening a new office in between Wolverhampton and Walsall as it continues to attract an increasing number of clients in the Black Country and Staffordshire area.

The company was established in 2007 and specialises in fundraising, turnaround and financial troubleshooting for business.

The new office, in Gipsy Lane, Willenhall, will be headed up by the firm’s business development manager Steve Grice.

Ludgate Finance decided to establish a permanent presence in the region after the company’s portfolio of clients in the Black County and Staffordshire grew rapidly during the last six months – following Grice’s appointment.

Grice said he was delighted to have been given the task of running the firm’s new Wolverhampton office: “As we continue to expand our portfolio of clients in the north of the region, it seemed sensible to establish a permanent presence in the area in order to make it as convenient as possible for them to meet with us face to face,” he said.

“At Ludgate we pride ourselves on providing a professional yet personal service. We like to deal with the individual, not just the business.

“This new office will make us much more accessible and provide us with a base to help us grow the number of clients and demonstrate the long term commitment of both Ludgate and Poppleton & Appleby to the Black Country and Staffordshire area.”
