“I’m delighted to congratulate Laura and Simon on their promotion to partner. They both bring a wealth of experience to the role and their promotions are testament to their hard work and dedication. Our dynamic and ambitious team in Holywell is expanding and Laura and Simon will take a leadership role in growing our practice. As a result of the pandemic, we’re seeing more companies looking to use local firms. We’re well placed to do this having had a presence in the area for many years and currently work with many of Holywell’s leading businesses.”

“While it's been a challenging few months, it's important we plan for the future and ensure we invest in the firm. Ensuring we continue to develop future leadership signals the confidence and commitment we have in the market and these appointments reflect the importance we place on delivering the best service possible to our clients across the region.”

“Many of our clients are finding new growth opportunities and improved efficiencies within the “new normal” following the pandemic and the UK's departure from the European Union; we are all looking forward with fresh optimism to the new challenges 2021 may bring.”
