A LAW firm in the Tees Valley will move into £2.75m offices this month - increasing its workforce by half.

Archers Law, of Stockton, is moving from Yarm Road to offices close to the Preston Farm development

The firm, which recently improved its half-year turnover by 14 per cent, has already increased its workforce from 66 to 72 in the past year.

The move to Lakeside House, in Kingfisher Way, will see staff numbers rise by another 50 per cent in the coming months.

Chief executive David Collier said: "The practice has grown organically, rather than by way of acquisition like many firms, which is extremely encouraging for our future expansion.

"In addition to growing staff numbers, it is important that we ensure we have the resources to allow us to continually meet the needs of our clients, as well as the ability to expand our client base."
