Telford team expands with residential property appointment

Shropshire firm mfg Solicitors has bolstered the Telford team with the appointment of associate solicitor Nichola Wilson.

Nichola (right) joins after more than 11 years with Lanyon Bowdler, where she headed the residential property department. She provides extensive experience in freehold and leasehold sales and purchases, as well as shared ownership and the right to buy scheme. Her arrival brings the residential property team in Telford to four (pictured).

Partner Andrew Davies (centre) said: ‘Nichola is already supporting and advising our clients in and around Shropshire on a wide variety of complex residential conveyancing matters.

‘We are dealing with a growing number of property transactions and this means we need the best talent, experience and skills. Nichola is undoubtably one to watch for the future and has an excellent reputation so we are delighted she is part of our team here in Telford.’

Nichola added: ‘I joined mfg as it was the right time to take my career to the next level. It is a firm with a great reputation which is growing not just here in Shropshire, but also across the wider West Midlands.

‘I am excited to be part of such a respected team and a firm which is really going places.’
