Fisher German open new office in Exeter
Fisher German has launched a new office in Exeter as it expands its presence in the South West.
The company’s 26th UK office, located at Exeter Business Park, forms part of the firm’s long-term growth plans.
There are currently five members of staff based at the new office, and they are Lesley-Anne Gleissner, Darren Edwards, Hannah Rose, Matthew Trewartha and Harriet Helliar.
There are plans already underway to expand the team further in the new year, according to Fisher German partner Matthew Trewartha.
He said: “We are very pleased to launch our new office in Exeter, and after working in the area for many years we saw an opportunity to not only better service our existing clients, but also build on these foundations to expand our client base.
“We have extensive knowledge of the local marketplace, and being based here enables us to bring our national abilities to a new region. We have an exceptional team of experts based at the office, a number of which have strong routes and connections in the South West, so it is fantastic to be able to start a team in their home region.
“There is a great amount of confidence in the business community in Exeter and the wider South West, and we will continue to grow and expand, employing the very best people for the benefit of our clients.”
