One of Coventry and Warwickshire’s leading accountancy firms is on the path to growth after moving to new headquarters.
LDP Luckmans has moved into a new state-of-the-art office building at Elliott Park on Coventry Business Park.
The company employs more than 40 staff and operates across a range of sectors including private client, manufacturing, health and pharmaceuticals and works throughout the UK.
The new open-plan, two-storey, 9,000 sq ft office complex will allow the five-partner company to add to its staff as part of its on-going growth plan.
Steve Twigger, a senior partner at LDP Luckmans, said: “We had outgrown our offices in the centre of Coventry, but rather than just find more space we wanted a headquarters that would be suitable for our planned growth and for our business needs going forward.
“We have expanded our offering in recent years with the appointment of a high-level tax expert as partner and an improved ability to do larger commercial deals, and are planning to host more events and meetings, so needed premises which allowed us to accommodate those needs.
“This move will allow us to grow our team and also add to the range of services we offer as well as giving our workforce a great working environment.”
Luckmans was founded in Coventry in 1961 and merged with Kenilworth-based Duckett Parker in 2000 and moved to offices in Queens Road in the same year. Those offices have now been sold for the development of student accommodation.
Louise Bennett, chief executive of the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, said: “A strong professional services sector is key to a growing economy and there are some outstanding firms operating across our patch who serve not only some of our strong and emerging companies, but also attract work from across the country.
“The necessity for that strong professional sector is emphasised when we sit so close to a major city which does attract some of the national and international firms, and LDP Luckmans is the perfect example of a local company offering the highest level of advice.
“Steve – who sits on the board of the Chamber – and the company as a whole is very supportive not only of our activities but also the business community, and it is great to see it staying here in the city while expanding.
“Our Go for Growth campaign champions growing firms in all sectors as well as well as working to create the perfect conditions for growth.”
