HR and Health & Safety experts expand operations into Wilmslow

Citation Ltd, which provides small and medium-sized businesses with HR and Health & Safety support and expertise, has moved its HR specialists into new accommodation in Wilmslow.

The team has taken c 4,000 sq ft in Orbit Developments’ 40 Water Lane property, which provided an ideal, close at hand additional space solution to the main office in Kings Court where the rest of the successful consultancy business occupies c 18,200 sq ft.

Citation was set up in 1996 and has since advised over 35,000 clients on HR, Employment Law and Health & Safety issues.

The advice is provided via a UK network of over 140 highly qualified consultants offering a localised personal service, backed up with a progressive, national perspective. Named as one of the Sunday Times Top 100 Best Companies to work for three years in a row, Citation continues to blaze a trail in key SME people- support services from its Wilmslow-based UK HQ.

Group Chief Executive Chris Morris said the last four years had seen unprecedented growth in the company which had necessitated more space, ideally in Wilmslow.

He said: “Orbit’s team on the ground were very helpful from the off, fully collaborating with us to facilitate the move, which went very smoothly. It’s the perfect space for a contained, specialist team like HR, but within close proximity of the wider company.”

Paul McLeman, Leasing Director from Orbit Developments commented: “Availability of the floor at 40 Water Lane was the perfect answer to this challenge for Citation who we have come to know well in the last four years. We were delighted to be able to help and look forward to supporting the future progress of this pioneering business.”

Orbit has the largest of all commercial property portfolios in Wilmslow, Alderley, Macclesfield and indeed Stockport, catering for businesses from 1-200 people.
