Two years after we opened our specialist conveyancing centre of excellence in Bridgend, the additional work generated by and undertaken by our team has helped us achieve one of our short term objectives of becoming a top five conveyancing firm in the UK.
Thanks to the success of the Bridgend conveyancing hub, we have been able to increase our client base beyond Wales to England and have won a number of industry awards that have names us as the best conveyancing firm in the UK.
About Our Bridgend Conveyancing Centre
The Bridgend centre was opened with the assistance of a £100,000 grant from the Welsh Government Economic Fund. Initially creating 13 new jobs and safeguarding three, the growth in demand for our conveyancing services has resulted in the appointment of Helen Shamo.
Helen is a new partner to the firm who is based in Bridgend, she works alongside Michael Smith, Director and Alun Rosser, Partner and their respective teams of legal professionals.
Commenting on the growth of the Bridgend office over the last 24 months, Mark Hobbs, Managing Partner of Howells Solicitors said,
“Our Bridgend Centre of Excellence has been a resounding success for the business. Whilst some of the team based there are responsible for undertaking conveyancing cases for clients in the Bridgend area, the majority are working with a growing client base from across England and Wales as we are establishing stronger relationships with direct clients and introducer networks across the country.
“Post Brexit, the housing market remains very active and we are confident that this level of activity will continue for the foreseeable future which inevitably will result in us being able to continue to expand our operation in Bridgend creating more new roles which ultimately will in part benefit the local economy.”
