Celebrating 140 years of success
Banner Jones Solicitors prove that Chesterfield really is a great pace to do business by celebrating their 140th year of trading in the town.
The firm, established back in 1878 by solicitor William Jones and his junior partner John Middleton, continues to go from strength to strength, now employing 140 people across their offices in Ches- terfield, Dronfield, Sheffield, Mansfield and Nottingham.
Chesterfield remains the hub of the business with over half of the workforce em- ployed in the three town cen- tre offices, including the head office on Glumangate, which was purchased back in 1890 by Jones and Middleton.
Stephen Gordon, execu- tive director and commer- cial solicitor, said: “We are very proud of our heritage in Chesterfield and I believe that
the town has a lot to offer busi- nesses of all sizes.
“For me, the positives of running a business here are the people and the central lo- cation.
“So many of the businesses in Chesterfield are owned and managed by the people who live here and because of that there’s a real commitment in making sure that businesses flourish and that we have the amenities of a thriving town such as great places to eat and socialise.
“The strong business, lei- sure and retail sector in Ches- terfield helps to ensure that there are employment op- portunities for local people, which is vital for growth.
