France + Associates is Business of the Month

May 1, 2024

Eaton Smith Solicitors is delighted to announce that France+Associates Limited has been chosen by the judging panel as the latest winner of its Business of the Month Award.

France+Associates are an award winning, specialist registered architectural practice based in Huddersfield, operating on a national level. They provide an all-encompassing architectural and surveying service, being instructed as property finders to help and assess a property prior to its purchase and take on a property project from inception and manage the process to completion.

The business was started by Jonathan France (Director), who saw a business opportunity to provide exclusive services to those requiring home improvements due to access issues by providing beautifully designed spaces to those affected by disability. Jonathan had originally found his love of working with individuals with significant access needs as early as 2008 when supporting clients via disability facility grant schemes, thereafter supporting individuals requiring significant changes following catastrophic injury in the insurance market.

In addition to Eaton Smith’s Business of the Month Award, France+Associates have won other awards such as the LABC Building Excellence Awards and the Modern Law Awards (Supporting the Industry).

Jonathan France, Director at France+Associates, commented: “France+Associates are proud to be locally recognised for the hard work we put in for individuals stuck in housing unsuitable to their needs. It’s brilliant to have a job that can truly change lives, especially when it’s a “job” we love so much. Our company has built a solid national reputation and is the go-to for solving property issues for injured parties, being one of the few firms offering such services in the UK. We’re proud to do this right here in the heart of Huddersfield, backed by a team that consistently shows passion, integrity, and true Yorkshire grit to turn a building project into a beautiful forever home.”

Ben Jackson, Partner at Eaton Smith Solicitors, and member of the judging panel commented; “France+Associates are a worthy winner not just for the commercial success of the business, but also the values they hold and the way they help to improve the lives of those who have been affected by life-changing events outside their control”.

Ben Jackson chaired the judging panel and was joined by Martin Hathaway (Mid Yorkshire Chamber), Annie Bradley (Department of Business & Trade), Ian Parsons (Parsons Chartered Accountants) and Marianne Martin (Parsons Chartered Accountants).
