Accountancy Ballards in city centre HQ move
AN ACCOUNTANCY firm has expanded its presence in the West Midlands by launching a new office in Birmingham’s business district.
Ballards has opened a new base in Cornwall Buildings, Newhall Street, joining its HQ in Droitwich and other offices in Worcester.
Founded in 1985, Ballards has experienced rapid growth in recent years, doubling its workforce to over 120 employees.
In addition to its core accountancy and tax work, Ballards provides services in areas such as IT consulting, digital transformation, corporate finance and recruitment.
It said the expansion into Birmingham represented a major milestone, driven by increased demand from clients across the city region, particularly in corporate finance.
Chief executive James Syree said: “We have seen increasing client demand from businesses across the Birmingham region and having a physical presence here is critical to providing the responsive, high-touch service that is a hallmark of Ballards.
“Our new centrally located Birmingham office will enable us to better serve our existing regional client base while also connecting with Birmingham’s thriving business community. “Having boots on the ground here gives us a tremendous advantage, allowing us to build deeper relationships and quickly respond to client needs.
“I am extremely confident that this new Birmingham location will drive the next chapter of growth for Ballards.”
The team welcomed West Midlands Mayor Andy Street to an event to mark the official opening of the new office.
He added: “Ballards’ impressive new offices reflect the company’s continued growth and commitment to Birmingham. It also shows that market confidence in Birmingham as a financial and professional hub remains strong with the city fast becoming a key player in financial services for the UK.
“I look forward to seeing Ballards continue to go from strength to strength in their new location in the months and years ahead.”
