Wendy said: “It excites me to be bringing my vast experience and expertise of working with clients from all parts of the UK to such an established legal practice with a strong reputation.
“Starting a new job and role is like entering unchartered waters. Today, I am ready to navigate through challenges and sail towards building success here. It is a real privilege to be given this opportunity to build up the family department at Thomson Hayton Winkley. With my motivation, attitude, and determination and with others here wanting the same, I am sure we will succeed.”
