This year marked the 7th anniversary of the prestigious Law Firm Services (LFS) Conveyancing Conference and Awards Ceremony, held on 17th September at the Milton Keynes Football Stadium.
The event drew solicitors and conveyancers from across the country to visit the main conference, which gained delegates 5 CPD points, followed by the Awards Ceremony where industry professionals were recognised and praised for excellence in their field.
At the conference, guest presenters included Nick Drake-Knight who is an authority on customer service processes. Nick’s highly interactive, energetic and passionate talk touched on his experience thus far on becoming somewhat of an expert in the customer services field as well as providing informative advice on how to implement key strategies to improve customer services to clients. Other speakers included D.C. David Knowles and D.S. Gavin Burton on preventing fraud in law firms.
Andrew Stenning, Managing Director of Searches UK, said:
“It was a great pleasure to work alongside the team at Law Firm Services who continue to recognise and acknowledge the high standards of solicitors and conveyancers across the industry. As a search company who strive to deliver a fully compliant and professional service, it was a delight to be involved with a body that award worthy firms. We’re already looking forward to the next event and offer sincere congratulations to all the winners and finalists.”
Searches UK were honoured to support the Wales & West Midlands Conveyancing Firm of the Year Award which Howells Solicitors won; the runners up included Harding Evans Solicitors and Walker & Co.
Mark Hobbs, Managing Partner of Howells Solicitors, commented:
“We’re delighted to have done so well at the awards. It’s the first time that any UK firm has won all three of the top accolades. We won the Regional (Wales and West Midlands) Conveyancing Firm of the Year, the Best Direct Conveyancing Firm of the Year and Overall Conveyancing Firm of the Year. Our firm has worked incredibly hard and it’s a credit to our team to have been so successful at the evening’s awards ceremony.”
During the awards dinner generous delegates helped raise £4,500 in the charity raffle and auction, which supported the Sheffield’s Children’s Hospital and Swan UK. Searches UK were delighted to donate an Apple TV as a raffle prize and dinner for two at The Shard for the auction, in addition to sponsoring the evening’s photobooth which generated endless fun and playful memories for guests.
