The firm has developed since I started up with one member of staff on 31st October 1988. At that time I set up in a small office on Warner Street Accrington and we have now moved to larger main office premises called Equity Chambers at the corner of St James Street/Willows Street. Accrington where we occupy what is locally called ''the old job centre''.

For 17 years we had a branch office in Blackburn which expanded and 3 years ago opened a branch office in Darwen. This proved so successful that we decided to close the office in Blackburn and concentrate on developing the Darwen office.

I enjoy carrying out an excellent job for a client and going beyond the call of duty - I remember acting for one client where I flew to France to prepare his will!

I have always been interested in helping people and have been invovled in charitable activities particularly through my former membership of Accrington Round Table and Accrington Rotary Club.

My interest in new business has continued through being a Director of Hyndburn Enterprise Trust Limited for over 20 years. I continue charitable activities through being a Trustee of Age UK Lancashire.
