Bankruptcy specialist Jacksons Jolliffe Cork is expanding its Yorkshire empire into York.

The reputed firm, which already has offices in Harrogate and Wakefield, will be moving in shortly.

The company already has many clients in the city.

Jeremy Gula, business strategy consultant partner, is anxious to persuade local entrepreneurs they do not have to go to the big city to find professional advice, when it is here at home.

"Our unique approach to assisting businesses is based on trust and reliability" he says. "We remain committed to working with all parties concerned to achieve the right objectives."

That's not just talk - recently the firm received praise from The Insider's Guides - Corporate Recovery and Insolvency 2000. Meanwhile The Lawyer describes it as one of the leading firms in its field in the Yorkshire area.

JJC also offers a consultancy; Briddain Strategies Limited gives long-term financial strategy advice to customers. Mr Gula explains: "In our work we see many cases of hardship caused only by a lack of long-term planning and protection."
