Two professional services firms are to co-locate at a 10,000 sq ft new office development in Louth, Lincolnshire.
Business advisory firm Duncan & Toplis is behind the latest addition to the market town’s Fairfield Industrial Estate development, and it will welcome regional law firm Wilkin Chapman as a tenant.
Both are relocating out of the town centre, with the law firm consolidating further Lincolnshire operations and moving its Horncastle office there too.

It is described as a contemporary, open-plan office space built over two floors, with a 53-space car park.
Adrian Reynolds, managing director at Duncan & Toplis, which has been in Louth since 2007, as one of 11 offices across the East Midlands, said: “The construction of new premises is a major undertaking which requires careful planning and consideration. Since the start of the pandemic, these decisions have become even more important as we prepare for a post-pandemic world where we all have the opportunity to redefine and improve many aspects of the way we live and work.
“We’re very excited to be making this major investment in the Louth area, reaffirming our commitment to the town and its businesses at this important time. The site will serve as a workplace for team members local to Louth or supporting organisations in the area, in line with our new, flexible working policy.
“We’re making great efforts to make Duncan & Toplis into an even better place for all our team members and the improved facilities the new development will afford will help us toward that goal. We’re also very pleased to have Wilkin Chapman join us in the new offices, ensuring that the building fulfils its potential as soon as it’s completed.”

Construction is set to begin imminently, with Lincoln contractor Stirlin Developments appointed.
Andrew Holt, senior partner at Wilkin Chapman, said: “We are really excited for this opportunity for both businesses to relocate to a new office that will provide a modern and vibrant environment, for our respective clients and team members alike.
“It is great to be able to make a very real, tangible continued commitment in Louth and the Lincolnshire Wolds area.”
Headquartered in Grimsby, where it moved to its new Cartergate headquarters in late 2016, it also has offices in Lincoln and Beverley.
Plans for the build were approved by East Lindsey District Council in 2019.
