A NORTHWICH accountancy firm is offering free advice to any businesses affected by last month's flooding.

Storm Christoph brought devastation to town two weeks ago, leaving many business owners with flood-damaged premises.

The team at WR Partners, in Gadbrook Park, say they have seen the impact Covid-19 has had on businesses across town – and the flooding has brought further disruption to those already struggling.

Partner Andrew Hague said: “The flooding in Northwich has been terrible to see and as a local business we want to do what we can to help.

"The most valuable thing we can contribute is our time and professional knowledge.

"By offering free consultations to discuss any financial or business aspect of recovering from the floods, we hope to provide individuals with the reassurance that there is a route to recovery and perhaps offer them a clear and concise strategy allowing them to focus on repairing the physical damage caused to their business."

While the company – which acquired Howard Worth last year – itself was not directly affected by flooding, many of of its clients and employees were affected by Storm Christoph.
