AN Altrincham healthcare brand consultancy is doubling up its capacity with a move to new a office in Hale.

The consultancy Strategic North, which works with global healthcare and pharmaceutical clients, has outgrown its Altrincham office, at Downs Court, in just three years and is moving to Westgate House, Hale Road.

Its new refurbished office on the top floor of the building provides more than double the space, at 4,820 sq ft and has been taken on a 10 year lease.

Steve Padgett, managing partner at Strategic North said: “We are delighted to move into this light, bright, new space which provides more room for our growing team of 30 with new space to meet clients and an environment to inspire our thinking about healthcare brands.

“The location is ideal, with quick access to Manchester airport to connect with our global clients, just 20 minutes into the business, cultural and scientific hub of central Manchester and there’s no doubt we’ll all enjoy the local buzz of Hale too!”

Daniel Lee of Regional Property Solutions, who acted on behalf of the building owner said: “Westgate is in a popular location sitting close to the town centre and the newly refurbished office space with its mezzanine feature attracted a great deal of interest”.
