Cheetham Jackson Ltd, which employs 16 people at its offices in Barcroft Street, Bury, Chorley and Chesterfield, is planning to open another office in Lancashire in the next 12 months and create 10 new jobs.

In the longer term, the firm aims to achieve a national presence with around 100 offices in town centres throughout the UK, including seven identified in Lancashire.
