Andy Preston, Elected Mayor of Middlesbrough with Ian Lowes, Managing Director, Lowes Financial Management. Lowes expands with new office in Teesside

WE ARE DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE WE HAVE OPENED a new office in Teesside. The new office is in the prestigious Commerce House building on Exchange Square – on the doorstep of the proposed £34m railway station redevelopment. We have been supported by Middlesbrough Mayor Andy Preston, who has been doing fantastic work in Middlesbrough recently and Lowes is pleased to be part of that transformation while providing superb office space that our clients can easily visit. When we announced our expansion into the Teesside office, Mayor Andy Preston added his support, saying: “We’re building something special in the professional sector here in Middlesbrough and the energy and momentum is becoming tangible. It’s absolutely brilliant to have an established financial company with Lowes’ reputation and standing committing to Middlesbrough. These are exciting times, and we look forward to working closely with Lowes in the years ahead.” Christine Huntingdon, facilities manager at Commerce House, added: “We’re honoured to have a firm of Lowes reputation and prominence move into the building and we look forward to welcoming the Lowes team for many years to come.” This expansion will help us deliver our range of Independent Financial Advice to a greater number of clients in Teesside and surrounding areas, including inheritance tax planning, investment management, pensions, tax mitigation, long term care and other general financial planning issues, helping clients and their families to secure their financial future. Lowes serves clients all around the UK. We have a growing number of financial advisers available to help people make the most of their money and grow their wealth for their financial future. We welcome referrals, so no matter where you are in the UK, if you think we can help friends, family, or colleagues with our personal brand of Independent Financial Advice, please have them call 0191 281 8811 for a no obligation initial call or meeting.

Fantastic Opportunity Lowes Consultant Michael Stowe says: Later this year I will be celebrating 10 years working at Lowes. It’s a milestone that I can’t believe has come around so quickly and I

have to say I have enjoyed every minute of the 10 years looking after the finances of Lowes’ clients.

Over that time, I have watched the company grow organically, adding clients, expanding our capabilities, our expertise and experience and adding to the Lowes teams. Ten years ago, there were around 50 people working for Lowes, now we have close to 100. The next logical step is to deliver the Lowes brand of Independent Financial Advice to more people around the UK, including opening new offices. I am particularly pleased with our new office in Teesside. I have many clients living in the area and to have this local facility is going to be extremely useful. Now I will be able to have consultations in the new office, which will make it more convenient for our Teesside clients and enable me to see more people during the day as well. This is a fantastic opportunity also for me to serve more people in the Teesside area, so if you know anyone who you think would benefit from Lowes advice, please have them get in touch. I or one of my colleagues will be delighted to talk to them.
