Horwich Farrelly promotes from within
Specialised defendant insurance firm Horwich Farrelly has announced an impressive wave of promotions in welcoming 19 new associates to the firm’s ranks. Every new associate represents a promotion from within the firm, and most significantly, 14 out of 19 are women.
The promotions will lend notable strength to the firm’s counter fraud and motor & casualty practices, which will receive eight and seven of the new associates respectively, with further additions within the credit hire, intelligence services and recoveries departments. 14 of the associates will sit in the firm’s Manchester office, whilst London and Liverpool will each boast two newcomers, and Sheffield one.
The announcement comes on the heels of three partner promotions earlier this year, of former associates Gary Herring, Michael Rimmer and Richard Preston. It brings the number of associates in the firm to 56, and represents, as partner and business development head Ronan McCann points out, the highest number of promotions within the firm in one single round. Ronan adds, ‘these appointments illustrate the success of our associate development scheme, which focuses on nurturing talent from inside the firm, and building strength and commitment within our teams. By honing the expertise of those already working in our business we can develop the best legal teams to deliver the best results for our clients.’
