CHANCELLOR and Tatton MP George Osborne opened a new office of a thriving town business this week.

Crawford Healthcare Ltd celebrated its recent office move with an official visit from the town’s MP.

The UK’s fastest-growing skincare business, which supplies dermatology and woundcare products internationally, relocated to its new offices in King Edward Court from Adams Hill in September, following significant growth and a number of high-profile deals.

Mr Osborne said: “I was delighted to open the new Knutsford town centre offices of Crawford Healthcare on Friday.

“This local company is the UK’s fastest-growing skin care company and a fantastic local employer.

“My congratulations to everyone involved in this success story.”

Richard Anderson, CEO at Crawford, said: “The move is testament to the hard work of our staff at Crawford and our ability to deliver on ambitious growth plans and strategy in spite of a difficult economy.

“The hard work is paying off and we have grown considerably as a business over the past year, having had 12 members of staff to now exceeding 40.

“The new, larger building better reflects where we are today and can accommodate our future growth.

“We are very excited about the future of our company, and what better way to celebrate our growth and success than a visit from MP George Osborne to officially open our new office.”
