DWF’s profits keep growing
More than 400 jobs were saved when DWF bought rival Cobbetts out of administration in a pre-pack deal last year. The Cobbetts team included staff in Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham.
DWF has reported a 23 per cent increase in net profit, taking the firm from £20.8m in 2012/13 to £25.5m in 2013/14. The firm, which employs 2,500 people in 12 offices, also increased its revenue by two per cent year-on-year from £188m to £191m.
DWF’s managing partner Andrew Leaitherland said: “This year has been one of major consolidation.”
