Was it just a year ago that Close Invoice Finance opened their Birmingham operational centre in a blaze of publicity. No doubt there will be far less publicity now that they have decided to close it with the inevitable redundancies.
In an effort to slash costs we hear that the Manchester operation centre is also being closed with the decision being taken in the same month as the announcement that Ian Steward had been appointed Managing Director of Close Invoice Finance in the North.
We’re not quite sure what he is Managing Director of now

It was announced a couple of days ago that Close Invoice Finance had acquired Ulster Factors “as part of it’s ongoing UK expansion”
I guess that all of the Close staff recently made redundant in England will manage a wry smile at this latest PR effort
I must apologize to Close for my post suggesting that they are shutting their Manchester office as it would appear that it’s far from the case and they are actually looking at the Manchester office to provide a good deal of their growth.
Aplogies for the misinformation
