Originally established in High Holborn, Moerans moved to Edgware in 1932 and has since been run as a vibrant family firm with a reputation for personal service and quality. We set out to create a client-centred business; it’s what makes us different from other firms. We encourage everyone who works here to put themselves in their clients’ place. What do they want? What worries them, and how can we help them sort it out?
