Head of strategic partnerships comes on board

National firm Simpson Millar has announced the appointment of Neil Turnbull as its head of strategic partnerships.

Neil has come on board after three years with Slater and Gordon. He has more than 25 years of experience in the legal industry, and in his new role will be building on the firm’s relationships with its partners, focusing in particular on trade unions, charities and non-governmental organisations.

Greg Cox, managing partner and CEO, said: ‘I am delighted to be welcoming Neil to join the team in this new position. Coming in with a proven ability for developing strong strategic partnerships, his appointment comes as part of our new ‘open’ proposition and is a clear demonstration of our commitment to growing and further fostering our relationships with key partners within the trade union, charity, and NGO sectors.

Neil added: ‘I am excited to be taking on this national role at Simpson Millar and to spearhead the firm’s approach to building strong partnerships as it continues to grow and expand.

‘Simpson Millar already has a strong relationship with many trade unions and a number of fantastic charities, and I look forward to continuing to drive these partnerships forward as well as developing new partnerships – all with the aim of providing the very best service to their members.’
