He said: “Returning to my home region was always in my mind when I moved away – with everything it has to offer, from both a business and a lifestyle point of view, there’s really nowhere better. “The property industry is a very diverse and interesting. You can provide both practical and legal advice to clients that helps them achieve their business goals, and you can see tangible results from your work in different buildings and developments around the region. “Hay & Kilner is enjoying a period of sustained growth and is clearly on an upward trajectory, while it still retains the reputation of being really committed to the development and well-being of its staff. “All these factors combine to make joining the firm at this time a great opportunity for me, and I’m really enjoying being part of such a supportive and knowledgeable team.”
