Wealth management firm move into historic Three Shires building

Stockport-based financial planning firm TPD Wealth Management has secured residency at one of Stockport’s oldest listed buildings, 30 Great Underbank, otherwise known as the Three Shires.

This announcement for TPD Wealth Management comes at a time where the grade II listed building has faced an extended vacancy following the previous tenant’s decision to move their business from the Stockport area, ending 140 years of legal office use. The SK1 location is estimated to have been built during the 15^th or 16^th Century according to a heritage statement commissioned by the current landlord – it is thought to be Stockport’s second oldest building.

Due to take place next month, a soft move in date has been set for the week of 14^th September 2020. To comply with COVID measures and ensure the safety of staff, clients and the general public, an open house launch event has been postponed until further notice.

The wealth management firm are looking forward to making their mark on the building and becoming a part of the property’s history. Lifelong Stockport resident and one of TPD Wealth Management’s directors, Tim Widdowson said:

The move into this long-standing heritage site at the heart of our community not only represents the next step for our firm, but begins the next chapter of this medieval building’s unique history – to say we’re are excited to take up residency here is a massive understatement! We look forward to welcoming our clients and their families to a rather unique office warming event when it is safe to do so.”

Despite the uncertain climate, this development will coincide with a great deal of regenerative work being carried out by the council to restore Stockport’s Town Centre. The spacious rooms of The Three Shires are to be refurbished into elegant meeting spaces for clients and drop ins seeking financial advice, all the while protecting the original features of the building such as the medieval timber framing and roof structure.
