A Harrogate law firm has secured a £165,000 loan to support its growth.

Harrogate Family Law, which is based on Victoria Avenue, received the funding from the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund.

The fund, which is managed by Mercia Asset Management, offers business loans to firms to support growth.

Harrogate Family Law said the funding will help to provide additional working capital to enable it to further expand the team and take on additional casework.

Andrew Meehan, managing director at the firm, said:

“After 13 years in Harrogate, we are now firmly established on the legal landscape and continue to grow on the back of referrals from satisfied clients.
“We will continue to grow and build the team while ensuring we choose the right people so we can deliver the best service to our clients.”







Knaresborough pest control employee takes on cycle challenge


An employee at a Knaresborough pest control specialist is set to cycle 4,500 miles around the UK coastline in aid of charity.

Adam Sims, who works in the finance team at Pelsis Group, will take on the challenge after his wife of 35 years, Christina, developed a serious mental health condition three years ago.

The challenge will see Mr Sims depart from Angmering, West Sussex, and cycle around the UK mainland coast. He hopes to cover the 4,500 miles in 45 days.

Mr Sims, who started the challenge last week, is raising money for mental health charity Mind as part of the fundraiser.

He said:

“We are fortunate that Christina is now doing better, in part thanks to be brilliant support we have received from Mind. That is why I wanted to do this challenge to give back and raise funds so others who go through what we did are able to be supported as well.
“I’m already extremely grateful for all the support and donations I’ve received from the friends, colleagues and the general public and look forward to seeing how much we can raise for this worthy cause.”
