Keoghs sets up third Bolton base
Bolton-headquartered law firm Keoghs, a provider of claims-related services to the insurance sector, is set to open its third office in the town.
Keoghs has acquired 7,500 sq ft to house its fast-growing casualty claims team at landlord DRA's Paragon Business Centre.
Up to 70 employees will work from the new facility, currently being fitted out, handling employers' and public liability claims on behalf of insurers, local authorities and businesses. Keoghs is one of Bolton's largest employers, with nearly 1,000 staff. The business also has offices in Coventry.
John Whittle, chief executive of Keoghs, said: "We're committed to investing in our infrastructure to support our growth and to create excellent working environments for our people, our most important asset.
"Our casualty claims team is just one the our service lines which we're going to expand significantly over the next 12 months as we look to meet sustained demand for our market-leading services."
