5 years ago Hallidays Business Advisers and Accountants combined their two offices in Manchester and Bramhall and moved into purpose built premises at Kings Reach Business Park, Stockport.

They celebrated their 5th anniversary on 7th November with clients, invited guests and team members with a party and fireworks in their prestigious offices.
In line with their new offices, Hallidays also adopted new processes and practices to improve the options avalable to their clients. Nigel Bennett, Managing Partner, Hallidays LLP:
“Before the move we had already stopped using timesheets and were offering Fixed Price Agreements to our clients however, we wanted to reflect our forward thinking ethos and improve the quality of our environment for the team. The move enabled us to build modern purpose built premises using the latest technology and energy saving recommendations. All team members now have free parking with easy access to the motorway and benefit from flexible working hours and practices”.
Nigel (pictured left) continued:
“New internal processes also introduced at that time, for
example a document management system, resulted in a 70%
improvement in paper usage.
These steps along with many others have contributed to
Hallidays recently receiving the Groundwork Silver and Bronze
environmental accreditation www.groundwork.org.uk\msstt.
Hallidays have strong links with Marketing Stockport, local
suppliers and introducers and our chosen charity ‘The
Seashell Trust’ for whom the team have worked tirelessly to raise funds. All this has continued to improve the whole communication process and service offering as trusted advisers in the N.W.”
In addition to the new location, 2008 also marked the formation of Hallidays Ethical Resourcing Limited. H.E.R specialises in the provision of timely, professional and commercially focused HR Consultancy. This is enhanced by a bespoke Financial Recruitment service as well as a Psychometric Profiling capability designed to improve the performance of both individuals and teams. H.E.R provides Hallidays clients with a set of complementary services from ‘under the same roof’ whilst also building its own customer base.
Hallidays also have their own in-house IT expertise providing a professional level of service delivery often not associated with this sector. The free ‘IT Audit’ offered to clients provides a complete overview of their systems and in many cases has led to improvements saving thousands. Hallidays are launching a new IT website and are now Cloud based so the team can access all documentation and software from anywhere.
“The more aligned we are with our clients the better we can help them achieve their personal and business objectives. If our clients achieve their goals we achieve ours. Our clients really appreciate the holistic view we take and the recent client happiness surveys reflect this with a 98% score,” explained Nigel Bennett, Managing Partner.
