AT the height of the recession the directors walked into a building in Chorley New Road with just a receptionist and set up Asons Solicitors.

Now, just 30 months later the company has expanded, bought three buildings and employs over 55 people with a view to creating 60 more jobs by the end of the year.

The company’s extraordinary growth is down to the the directors drive and determination and the hard work of their team.

Their team currently includes French, German, Polish, Bengali, Punjabi, Urdu, and English speakers.

The company works mainly in personal injury claims and is now planning to expand its conveyancing arm.

“We are also helping to save the environment by becoming a paperless firm by removing all the filing cabinets and storing everything digitally.”

This week, the directors, who live in Bolton, welcomed the Mayor and Mayoress of Bolton Cllr John Byrne and Cllr Lynda Byrne, to officially open their newly revamped offices in Chorley New Road.
