Bell Lamb & Joynson—five new recruits

Solicitors creates new team
North West legal firm Bell Lamb & Joynson solicitors has announced that it has recently welcomed five new recruits in line with the start of its business year. The firm has welcomed Lawrence Dunne as a conveyancing assistant and Jenny Randell as a conveyancing fee earner, alongside accounts cashier Tim Cousins.

The newly established business development team will be headed up by relationship manager Joe Holmes who will be working alongside client relationship executive Kate Mansfield as well as existing members of staff.

Managing partner at Bell Lamb & Joynson Solicitors, Mike Leeman, said: ‘As we entered our new business and financial year in July, we also welcomed a number of new recruits to the firm, adding to our workforce across our three North West office locations. We feel incredibly fortunate that we’re in a position to expand and futureproof our business for the year ahead and beyond.

‘As well as hiring in our conveyancing department, which has been exceptionally busy throughout recent months, and our finance team, we’ve also prioritised business development going forward and have built an entirely new team to focus on this aspect. As we near our 200-year anniversary in 2021, it’s important to us to continue to build on the momentum that we’ve initiated over recent years and continue to make a name for ourselves across England and Wales as a leading, reputable law firm and business relationships are integral to that.’
