Paul Cheetham-Karcz, Managing Partner at Sedulo Group says “Liverpool is a city full of exciting, growing businesses and we love to take traditional services and make them contemporary for those companies. Liverpool, Leeds and Manchester are the UK’s most dynamic cities outside of London and I wanted us to be the first financial advisory firm that had a real hold in each city. People have tried it before with a desk or two but we wanted to build a stronghold in all three and purposely signed a ten-year lease in the heart of the city and invested almost half a million pounds in developing the space into an innovative environment”.
