A solicitors’ office has moved into a market town’s empty shop building and is now open for appointments.
Hayes + Storr’s Fakenham branch has bid farewell to its office at 18/19 Market Place and relocated to the town’s Aldiss building, previously The Original Factory Shop which closed its doors on February 18 this year.
The move comes as the company has grown, which called for it to move to a larger, more modern premises.
“The new offices offer easy access in a welcoming, spacious environment,” said finance director Adam Bunkle.
“£3.3m was invested in redeveloping the new site following a fire, it was a huge investment which aimed to recreate a building in keeping with the history and character of the town.
“We are also committed to modernising while upholding our traditional brand values, making the new offices a perfect fit as we look to the future.”
Records have shown that the solicitors’ former location, which Hayes + Storr occupied for more than 50 years, has been used as a law firm since 1775.
Hayes + Storr has four other branches across the county, including Lynn, Swaffham, Holt and Sheringham.
The new office is now open for face-to-face and telephone appointments which can be arranged by calling 01328 863231 or emailing law@hayes-storr.com.
