THE crime team at Forbes Solicitors’ Chorley office has appointed two new solicitors.

Natalie Darwen and Craig MacKenzie are both graduates from the University of Central Lancashire.

The firm opened a larger office in St Thomas’s Road, Chorley, last year and since then nine new jobs have been created.

Managing partner Steven Dawson said: “We have added several new members to the team and that is a direct response to the needs of clients.”
