Tony Mellon & Sharon Evans—P J English Associates

Two new recruits for Leicester firm

Leicester-based construction dispute avoidance and resolution firm, P J English Associates, has made a raft of recent key appointments.

Tony Mellon joins as the firm’s new roofing consultant & expert witness. Former board director of single-ply roofing membrane manufacturer FLAG, he has been responsible for the waterproofing and fixing design on many impressive projects, including Wembley Stadium, Hampden Park and ECHO Arena in Liverpool. A Fellow of the Institute of Roofing and former committee member of the Single Ply Roofing Association, he is ideally positioned to author credible independent reports and provide expert witness statements on any element of single-ply roofing.

Also joining the team is marketing & communications manager, Sharon Evans. With several years’ experience marketing some of the east midlands’ largest professional services firms including Flint Bishop Solicitors LLP and Ashgates Accountants, Sharon brings with her a wealth of expertise in the planning and delivery of effective marketing strategies for professional services companies.

Peter English, owner of P J English Associates, says: “With over 700 cases handled and a 97% win ratio, we have an exceptionally strong reputation for helping our clients successfully resolve their disputes; protecting the profitability of contracts whilst maintaining positive client relationships. So it is very important that we maintain that reputation by expanding our team to cater for the increased demand for our services.

“For me, it has always been important that every team member has the right qualifications and experience to ensure the very best levels of service for our clients. Tony and Sharon bring the highest calibre of expertise to our team and will play an important part in driving the business forward in terms of both service delivery and marketing.”
