Employment team gains HR business partner

Northern firm Forbes Solicitors has welcomed Stuart Lowery to the employment team as a HR business partner.

Stuart has joined the firm after three years as a HR consultant with Napthens LLP; he has also previously held HR roles at Marks & Spencer and the Co-operative Group. Based across Forbes’ central Lancashire and Manchester offices, he will now work directly with the firm’s clients to provide in-house support on employee investigations, hearings and appeals. His other areas of experience include supporting with restructuring, redundancies and contractual changes.

Stuart said: ‘It is great to be part of a team with such a superb reputation for quality across all areas of employment work. I am looking forward to supporting our clients with the business challenges and opportunities that arise from people management.’

Emma Swan, partner and head of commercial employment, added: ‘Stuart is a fantastic addition to our team and brings a wealth of experience to a team which already has a reputation for providing excellent support and advice to a wide range of clients.’
