Nigel Savage & Paul Duncanson—Fletchers Solicitors

Solicitors appoints two new non-executive directors

Nigel Savage, the former CEO of The University of Law (formerly The College of Law), and Paul Duncanson, one of the UK's leading marketing and brand specialists, have joined the board of Fletchers Solicitors as non-executive directors.
 
Nigel stepped down as CEO of The University of Law in March 2014 after leading the organisation for 18 years and establishing an enviable record in managing change and growth. During his tenure, he steered the institution through a radical change in its operating model and built revenues significantly, culminating in a sale to private equity in 2012. He has wide experience in management, governance, risk and business growth.
 
Meanwhile, Paul brings a wealth of experience in marketing and brand management. He was managing director of Creativebrief Ltd, the leading provider of agency intelligence to brand marketers. His most notable achievements include assisting with the launch, marketing and development of a number of leading brands in the UK and globally including Coca-Cola, Ribena, Andrex and Sony PlayStation. Duncanson is currently the managing partner of The Creativebrief Consultancy, which provides clients with in-depth advice and assistance to maximise the effectiveness of their marketing strategies.
 
Ed Fletcher, CEO of Fletchers Solicitors, says: "We are delighted with these appointments. Nigel's experience in governance, leadership and management, and Paul's wealth of experience in markets and brand management, will help us to sustain the considerable growth that we have experienced in recent years.
 
"They both have very strong commercial expertise and appreciate the challenges of operating in the professional services sector. They join David Walmsley on our board who has a wealth of financial knowledge in running clinical negligence law service organisations."
