Bluefin officially opens its new offices

The Mayor and Mayoress of Harrogate will cut a ribbon on the building at a ceremony this evening. Bluefin, a leading national provider of employee benefits, said the move was needed as the firm continues to grow.

Councillor Bill Hoult, Mayor of Harrogate said: "It is a delight to support a business committed to the area, especially a major contributor to the Financial Services industry in Harrogate.

Yorkshire, and in particular Harrogate, is fast becoming a centre in the North for major national brands."

Nick Burns, managing director of Bluefin Corporate Consulting said: "Being a national broker makes it important for us to have a vibrant presence in financial centres such as Yorkshire, and we are pleased to be able to move our expanding demands into premises which match our ambition."

Bluefin, a subsidiary of AXA, has over 3000 employees based at nearly 100 locations across the UK.
