BIRKENHEAD accountants Woods Squared has expanded, relocating from a basement office in Hamilton Square to 3,000 sq ft of new offices in the square on a 10-year lease.
Director Alan Woods said: “We had outgrown our previous premises but we wanted to maintain our presence in the Merseyside area – we believe that there is so much on offer for businesses in the area that it would have been wrong for us to have moved elsewhere.”

The Rainbow Wedding Network will hold its first Capital Region gay and lesbian wedding expo from 1 to 4 p.m. on Aug. 7 at Birch Hill Catering in Shodack.
The expo will allow businesses to exhibit their services to gay and lesbian couples in the Capital Region. Businesses can currently advertise their services on the Rainbow Wedding Networks website for an annual fee of $75, but do not have to advertise on the site to exhibit at the expo.
So far, about half of the 50 exhibition spaces have been reserved by businesses, said Marianne Puechl, founder of the Rainbow Wedding Network. There has been quite a lot of excitement since the expo was announced Friday, she said.
Exhibitors will be primarily wedding-related because of the recent legislation legalizing same sex marriage in New York State, but there will also be companies offering real estate, adoption, legal and financial services, Puechl said. T
LIVERPOOL and Manchester are joining forces in a bid to win Enterprise Zone status for Daresbury’s Science and Innovation Campus.
The local enterprise partnerships for Liverpool city-region and Greater Manchester, together with Halton Council, have submitted the bid to Whitehall.
They hope to win favourable business rate concessions and investment in better broadband services for the centre, near Runcorn.
Daresbury is the second business park in the region to bid for Enterprise Zone status.
Earlier this week, it emerged that neighbouring Warrington Council was seeking the same status for the planned Omega business park, on the site of the former US Air Force base at Burtonwood.
Developer Peel’s Wirral and Liverpool Waters schemes, on either side of the River Mersey, have already been awarded Enterprise Zone status, as has an area close to Manchester Airport.
The promoters of the Daresbury bid said Enterprise Zone status “will have an impact across not only the wider area in the North West, but the UK as a whole”.
The Daresbury bid is believed to be the only joint LEP Enterprise Zone application made to the Government to date.
It is hoped Enterprise Zone status would assist the Daresbury facility with its plans to develop a 1m sq ft extension to the existing campus.
Actually, that has been going on for years.
First, we blamed them for the real estate collapse because they were too generous, giving loans to people who didn’t deserve them.
Now, we are blaming them for blocking a real estate recovery by being too stingy, denying loans to people who can easily afford the payments.
But it’s not entirely their fault, says Sue Stewart, creator and operator of MortgageMatch.com, a website that helps borrowers learn about mortgages, prequalifies them for loans and links them to properties they can afford on Realtor.com.
Lenders are just reacting to the fraud that went on during the real estate boom.
Yes, it was fraud that they enabled, and in some cases encouraged, but it was fraud nonetheless.
