A financial advisory firm has opened a new head office in Bradford as part of its continuing expansion plan.

Total Solutions Independent Financial Advisers Ltd has totally renovated the original building on Manningham Lane - a significant milestone for the company who only launched five years ago from a tiny office on Great Horton Road.

The founding partners of the business - Paul Lowcock, Andrew Tams, Ranjen Gohri, Dale Parnham, Maqsood Hashmi and Hardeep Sohal - were joined by staff, clients and banks at a champagne reception to formally open the impressive building.

In welcoming the guests Paul Lowcock, one of the partners, paid tribute to everyone who has been involved in the creation of the new head office and said it clearly demonstrated the great strides the company has made.

He said: "The success of Total Solutions is a real team effort and our new head office suitably reflects the excellent growth the company has achieved."

The evening of celebration also saw the launch of a new division, Total Insurance Solutions, which offers a wide range of insurance services.

As well as the new Bradford office, the company also has offices in Pudsey and Keighley and employs 30 staff.
