Manchester forensic accounting and insolvency practice doubles office space with £200k investment

Inquesta, the forensic accounting and insolvency practice, is investing £200k in doubling capacity at its Greater Manchester headquarters.

Founded in January 2012 by directors Rob Miller and Steven Wiseglass, Inquesta is set to expand its offices in Radcliffe after buying the building next door.

The fit-out of the former dry cleaners at St John’s Terrace on New Road is expected to be completed by the spring.

The two-storey scheme will create a large open-plan office area, two smaller offices and a breakout zone. As a result, Inquesta will double the size of its workforce to 24.

Inquesta’s forensic team advises on contractual and matrimonial disputes, personal injury claims, proceeds of crime orders and fraud investigations, as well as banking disputes such as mis-sold interest rate swaps.

On the insolvency side, Inquesta deals with administrations, liquidations, bankruptcies, company voluntary arrangements and individual voluntary arrangements.

Rob said Miller said: “As the practice grows, we require more office space and it is fitting to embark on the expansion of our premises in the very month we are celebrating five years in business.

“We have come a long way in a short time, and continue to recruit experienced staff to meet increasing demand for our services.

“Our insolvency division had its busiest-ever quarter in the final three months of 2016 and the forensic practice is seeing significant growth, particularly in relation to banking litigation matters.”
