Victoria Tester, managing director at Shakespeare Martineau, said: “I am thrilled to see so many of our existing and emerging leaders promoted across such a broad range of teams and office hubs.

“Developing home-grown talent is hugely important; we know that our investments in training and coaching pay back dividends in the quality of service our people provide to our clients and in the way they pay it forward in supporting their colleagues who are just starting their careers with us.

Congratulations to all who have taken this significant step in their careers.”
