North West law firm SAS Daniels announced three promotions in its Chester office, with one promotion to partner.

The firm has promoted Andrew Clark from consultant to partner, while James Goddard and Sarah-Jane Dunhilll both became an associate.

At the Greater Manchester Business Growth Hub, three new teams were launched to deliver specific programmes as part of the Government’s City Deal contract.

Mike Carrighan, the new senior business growth manager, will head up the hub’s main team, which will include eight growth advisors.

The mentoring team will be led by Paul Tucker, formerly of the National Centre for Entrepreneurship in Education, while Janine Smith will take on a management role for a six-person growth start-up team.
