Newcastle-based Neuro Partners plans to open new offices in Middlesbrough and Warrington in a move that will double its workforce to around 300, reports the Northern Echo.

The firm employs brain injury specialists ranging from psychologists and rehabilitation consultants to occupational therapists.

Managing director Jonathan Wade expressed delight at the company's plan to expand in Middlesbrough later this year.
