A financial advice company says it aims to create a one-stop shop for all things financial in Chesterfield town centre.

Queensbury Financial Advisers has announced the opening of a new office at 58 Knifesmithgate after an extensive six-month refurbishment, bringing together a wealth of experience with backgrounds in law, business and financial advice.

The business provides all the traditional investment and wealth management services such as ISAs, pensions and high interest deposit accounts, however, it also deals with mortgages, wills, probate and lasting power of attorney. We are very much a full-service finance firm.

Rebecca Bidwell, Director of the company commented: “We have completely renovated the property after stripping it back to brickwork. It’s had new electrics, a new heating system, new windows and door, along with some beautiful internal additions such as glass partitions and a modern chandelier above the boardroom table!”

Previously, Mark and Rebecca Bidwell founded Bidwell Henderson Costs Consultants, based in Alfreton, back in 2014. Starting their careers in law, they took the business from a start-up to a team of over sixty people within seven years. They sold the business in 2021 to a firm of financial advisers and decided to bring together their love of financial advice, running a business and law.

Rebecca added: “We have spent a lot of time travelling for work and this time we wanted to base our business in the town we call home. We pride ourselves on being able to work with all clients. Business owners and senior leaders enjoy working with us because of our experience of being in their shoes.

“We found 58 Knifesmithgate for sale. Mark was instantly drawn to the building due to it’s brilliant positioning in the town centre. We made a heart-over-head decision to buy it and invest in the extensive renovation required.

“The building has the most beautiful original features from the art deco era, and it’s set over four floors. We could see the potential of the building, and it was ideal for our growth plans.

“It’s been a interesting journey renovating the building. We found a vintage safe hidden behind a wall, which has now become a feature on the ground floor.

The fast-growing practice is looking for financial advisers to join the team, along with support staff. Queensbury will also bring fun and finance sessions to the local community, helping to pass on important information, tools and resources to help others in building their financial futures.

Rebecca concluded: “We are passing on all the top tips and tools we have learnt along the way and the things we wish we had known earlier. We are also keen to be involved in projects with our local community.”
