Hathersage Hall Business Centre
Rural enterprise providing state-of-the-art business accommodation in converted farm buildings.
Hathersage Hall Business Centre provides a fine example of sensitive but forward-thinking rural development in the heart of the Peak District. The project provides a highly attractive working environment for knowledge-based businesses in Grade II Listed farm buildings within the conservation area of an historic and attractive Peak District village, yet just a short journey from the heart of Sheffield.
West and Foster already provided accountancy services for the people behind this exciting project and we have been delighted to be involved in what is a flagship rural development which aims to bring 80-100 jobs to an area currently heavily dependant on tourism.

Sheaf Materials Handling Ltd
Long-established, family-controlled, industrial sector SME.
Sheaf Materials Handling is a familycontrolled business with almost 40 years operational experience in the supply, maintenance, refurbishment and repair of forktrucks. The business enjoys a very good reputation within its industrial markets and has achieved a deep penetration into the industrial business community.
West and Foster has been delighted to be able to match the service ethos of Sheaf Materials Handling which is rooted in the family-involvement and longevity of the business. By adopting their high standards as our benchmark, rather than supplying an adequate, but uninspiring 'off the shelf' accountancy service, we feel that we can contribute more actively to their continued success.
