Changing to Hallidays is easy

Heritage worth talking about and a progressive responsive approach to business!

Davies and Metcalfe plc have used Hallidays for over 100 years (they're one of our longest-standing associations).

Chris Newman worked at Davies and Metcalfe as a draughtsman, but Chris was destined for bigger things! He left Davies and Metcalfe, set up Flexible Business Interiors (FBI) and thankfully used Hallidays as his accountant. From humble beginnings in rented offices with a team of 3, Chris' company now own their premises with a team of nearly 20 and a turnover of £5m. A story we're proud of at Hallidays.

Not surprisingly FBI completed the design and fit out of our new premises at Riverside House, Stockport which we moved to from Manchester in October '08. Why not come and see Chris' handiwork and learn how we can help your business too?

Business Planning

Every business must plan ahead in order to ensure success, but it is too easy to succumb to the daily pressures of work and delay or ignore strategic planning. The result of poor planning is often rushed and misinformed decisions, over/under capacity, inefficiency and missed opportunities.

Every business owner needs to invest time in developing a long-term plan, starting with what you want to achieve from your investment and what your reasons for being in business are, and then developing a plan to help achieve these objectives.

We are well placed to help you develop these plans and have a considerable pool of experience and expertise to draw on. The financial aspects are usually the backbone to any business plan and you need to ensure that this aspect has been adequately dealt with in your plan.
