Kevin Rogers and Tom Warrender quickly embraced LinkedIn
Local Northants, supported by the (award-winning!) Marketing Team (Naomi Edwards and Cathy Barry). It was no surprise to see so many faces from the Chamber actively participating and a few helping by hosting the virtual breakout rooms. You’d think that with everything else going on in the world,
‘growth’ would be a word that didn’t have much place in the current vocabulary, but nothing could be further from the truth. The firm currently has 10 vacancies on its website as part of its organic growth; Neelam Maher and Vicki Pearce were promoted to ‘Participating Partner’. Vicki has been with the firm since 2008; Neelam since 2007, and both have established themselves as valued members of the private client team, delivering expert advice on Wills, Trusts, and other related issues for individuals, including business owners.
• £45m of commercial litigation claims • 260 businesses bought, sold or advised
• Advised on commercial land worth £44m inc 217 land acquisition plots
• 2,500 Wills & Trusts written including business Will and Business LPAs
• …and a bear as a mascot: a very big bear! As it is an Olympic year, the firm is planning an event
featuring some ex-Olympians and (all being well) the Northamptonshire 5K race series will once again be underway. Despite restrictions, there will be motorcycle racing in some form, and the firm continues its sponsorship of Abbz Thomas. Last but not least, there’s Wilson Bear. Naomi Edwards from
the Marketing Team (and some say, mum of Wilson Bear!) commented: “The way people have taken to Wilson Bear is incredible. It seems that everybody wants a Wilson cub! We always try to show that we are professional but down to earth and friendly – I think we succeed.” In the space available, we can only scratch the surface of the
firm’s achievements and what is essential is to look to the future. With that in mind, the firm eagerly awaits the Chamber annual awards launch, where it is again the headline sponsor.
