HUDDERSFIELD Town has teamed up with law firm Chadwick Lawrence – with the goal of boosting the local economy.

The two organisations have launched the Huddersfield Town Business Forum, which gets under way with a meeting from noon to 2pm on Tuesday, November 4, at the Fantastic Media Suite at the Galpharm Stadium.

The meeting will include a number of guest speakers and it is intended to be the first in a series of events focusing on business issues affecting companies across the town. The second is expected to be held next spring. To register for the forum, go to www.chadwicklawrence.co.uk

Jeremy Garside, managing partner of Chadwick Lawrence, said: “Huddersfield is home to Chadwick Lawrence’s head office and, as Huddersfield Town is the biggest brand in the area, it seemed right in the club’s centenary season to pool resources for the good of the local economy.”

Chadwick Lawrence specialises in commercial and private law and has six offices across West Yorkshire – the latest opening earlier this year at Paragon Business Village, Wakefield. The firm also sponsors the Huddersfield Examiner Business Awards.
