In June 2010 AFR Consulting compiled a salary survey from over 400 finance staff across the Lancashire region. Our aim was to ascertain whether regional differences exist in what companies pay their accounting and finance staff. The sample was taken from individuals in Bolton up to Kendal and across east to west Lancashire ranging from clerical to director level staff.
