Sharp Consultancy is to expand to the North-West with the opening of its fourth office in Manchester.

Sharp says it will invest £250,000 over the next three years to grow the business in the region. It will place part-qualified and qualified accountants in both temporary and permanent positions.

Regional manager Nigel Flower says: “Sharp’s business strategy is very effective. It tackles recruitment on a more intimate level, steering clear of this scatter-gun tactic a lot of agencies opt for.”

The company’s other offices are in Leeds, Sheffield and Doncaster.
