One of the North’s leading solicitors who are headquartered in Preston are marking 125 years in the city.
Harrison Drury can trace their roots back to 1901 when William Henry Coupe began to trade as a solicitor from an upstairs office in Lune Street in the heart of Preston.
They now have more than 220 staff across nine offices in the North of England but have maintained a Winckley Square base throughout.

Managing partner Simon England said: “125 years is a big milestone for any organisation and while it’s great to look back and celebrate our achievements, we want to continue looking forward.
“We want to ensure we remain one of the best workplaces in the UK for the long term, to continue being recognised as experts in our respective fields, making it possible for our clients, and remaining at the heart of our communities.”
The firm has been regularly featured in lists by The Times and others as best medium-sized companies to work for in the UK.
They have also made contributions to support Preston’s community and charity sector. This year they’ve become founder patrons of the Vault Youth Zone and also sponsored the Proud Preston Awards.
Staff at Harrison Drury also regularly undertake fundraising challenges to support a range of city charities and community groups.
Mr England said: “As we always have done, we’re supporting local charities and community initiatives in all of the areas where we have offices. It’s part of our long-term commitment to corporate responsibility, something that’s always been part of the DNA of Harrison Drury.”
